Capabilities and Add-ons capabilities
The Experience Modernization Agent chooses a workflow, which it calls a skill, from the task that you describe. This reference groups its capabilities by the work they support, from migration to continued development.
An entry marked “Built in” needs no add-on. For optional entries, the table gives the add-on ID used in the project’s configuration. To turn one on or save the choice for your team, see Optional Capabilities.
Plan and Migrate migration
Use these workflows to understand a source site, import its content and design, and check the result.

Page and design migration
Imports pages into default content and blocks, extracts design tokens and global styles, and rebuilds the shared header, navigation, and footer. See Migrate a Production Site.
