Add migrate-bsv skill for Bootstrap Vue migrations
What does this MR do?
Adds a Claude Code skill at .claude/skills/migrate-bsv/SKILL.md that captures the playbook for the ongoing Bootstrap Vue removal in packages/gitlab-ui.
The skill covers:
- Why the BSV fork is vendored and how we're retiring it incrementally
- Pattern A, utils: prefer native JS, otherwise extend an existing
*_utils.jsrather than creating a new file. - Pattern B, component inlining: move the BX template/props/methods into the wrapping GlX component, preserve the public API, no
// copied from ... comments - Pre-edit checklist for any file importing from
vendor/bootstrap-vue/ - Inventory of completed replacements (utils + components), with breaking-change notes for each migrated component
Future contributors using Claude Code will get this context loaded automatically when touching BSV-related files, and the inventory gives a single place to look up "is this symbol already replaced?" before starting new work.
Why Claude Code skill?
Claude Code skill is picked up by Opencode, but not the other way around.

Accessibility
If this MR adds or modifies a component, take a few moments to review the following:
- All actions and functionality can be done with a keyboard.
- Links, buttons, and controls have a visible focus state.
- All content is presented in text or with a text equivalent. For example, alt text for SVG, or
aria-labelfor icons that have meaning or perform actions. - Changes in a component’s state are announced by a screen reader. For example, changing
aria-expanded="false"toaria-expanded="true"when an accordion is expanded. - Color combinations have sufficient contrast.
