How to migrate off v1/prompts
- Find every place that references it:
grep -rn --exclude-dir={node_modules,.git,dist} "v1/prompts" . - Follow the provider’s migration notes in the official notice.
- Re-run your evals or a sample of real prompts — output style, token usage and pricing can change between APIs.
- Check config outside code too: environment variables, feature flags, prompt-management tools, and fine-tuned model references.
- Deploy before November 30, 2026, and add the CI scanner so it cannot come back.
