+description: Migrate deprecated web Select usage from `packages/web/src/controls/Select.tsx` to the alpha Select in `packages/web/src/alpha/select/Select.tsx`. Use this whenever a repo is cleaning up CDS v9 deprecations before v10 and the code imports the old web Select or `SelectOption`, uses child-based Select options, or needs help converting `valueLabel`, `SelectOption` children, and legacy Select props into the alpha options-array API.
+---
+
+# Web Select To Alpha Select
+
+Use this skill when migrating deprecated web `Select` usage to the alpha web `Select`.
+
+This migration is not just an import rename. The old component is a trigger plus `SelectOption` children model. The alpha component is an options-driven API with richer customization and slightly different value semantics.
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Old web `Select` takes `children` and usually renders many `SelectOption` elements.
+- Alpha web `Select` takes an `options` array.
+- Old `SelectOption.title` becomes alpha option `label`.
+- Old `SelectOption.description`, `media`, `accessory`, `end`, and `disabled` map naturally onto alpha option objects.
+- Old `valueLabel` usually disappears because alpha `Select` can derive the displayed label from the selected option object.
+- Old `value` is commonly `string | undefined`; alpha `Select` prefers `string | null` for single select.
+- Old `width` and `disablePortal` are not alpha `Select` props.
+
+If you need exact mappings or examples, read `references/api-mapping.md` and the files in `examples/`.
+
+## Migration Workflow
+
+1. Find imports of the deprecated web `Select` and `SelectOption`.
+2. Replace them with the alpha `Select` import.
+3. Convert child `SelectOption` nodes into an `options` array.
+4. Normalize state from `string | undefined` to `string | null` when needed.
+5. Remove props that no longer exist, especially `valueLabel`, `width`, `disablePortal`, and `onClick`.
+6. Preserve supported props that still exist, such as `label`, `helperText`, `placeholder`, `compact`, `labelVariant`, `startNode`, `endNode`, `variant`, and `disabled`.
+7. If layout depended on `width`, move that concern to `style`, `className`, or a parent layout component.
+8. Re-check behavior for empty selection, focus/open behavior, and accessibility labels.
+
+## Import Rewrite
+
+Old pattern:
+
+```tsx
+import { Select } from '@coinbase/cds-web/controls';
+import { SelectOption } from '@coinbase/cds-web/controls';
+```
+
+Preferred new pattern:
+
+```tsx
+import { Select } from '@coinbase/cds-web/alpha/select';
+```
+
+If the local import style is relative, keep it consistent with the surrounding file.
+
+## Core Rewrite Rule
+
+Convert this:
+
+```tsx
+<Select value={value} onChange={setValue}>
+  <SelectOption title="Option 1" value="1" />
+  <SelectOption description="BTC" title="Option 2" value="2" />
+</Select>
+```
+
+Into this:
+
+```tsx
+const options = [
+  { value: '1', label: 'Option 1' },
+  { value: '2', label: 'Option 2', description: 'BTC' },
+];
+
+<Select onChange={setValue} options={options} value={value} />;
+```
+
+## Mapping Rules
+
+- `SelectOption.title` -> `option.label`
+- `SelectOption.description` -> `option.description`
+- `SelectOption.media` -> `option.media`
+- `SelectOption.accessory` -> `option.accessory`
+- `SelectOption.end` -> `option.end`
+- `SelectOption.disabled` -> `option.disabled`
+- `SelectOption.value` -> `option.value`
+- `SelectOption.Component` does not exist on the old API; if custom option rendering existed through wrappers, model it with alpha option `Component` or `SelectOptionComponent`
+
+## State Rules
+
+- Prefer `const [value, setValue] = useState<string | null>(null)` for single select.
+- If old code uses `''` or `undefined` for "no selection", migrate carefully to `null`.
+- If the old options intentionally supported clearing the selection, include a nullable option like `{ value: null, label: 'Remove selection' }`.
+
+## Props To Remove Or Rework
+
+- Remove `valueLabel`. Alpha `Select` displays the selected option label from `options`.
+- Remove `width`. Use `style`, `className`, or a parent layout wrapper instead.
+- Remove `disablePortal`. Alpha `Select` does not expose that prop.
+- Remove `onClick` on the old root `Select`. If custom open behavior is required, use alpha `open` and `setOpen`.
+- Old accessibility props like `accessibilityLabelledBy` and `accessibilityHint` do not map directly. Keep `accessibilityLabel` and add `controlAccessibilityLabel` when the visible label is not enough.
+
+## When To Pause And Be Careful
+
+Pause and reason more carefully if any of these are true:
+
+- `Select` children are not a flat list of `SelectOption` elements.
+- Options are conditionally rendered or built from nested React trees.
+- The old component relies on `valueLabel` to show text that does not match the option label.
+- The file depended on `disableCloseOnOptionChange` behavior from old option internals.
+- The migration should become multi-select. This is not a one-to-one rewrite and needs alpha `type="multi"` plus array state.
+
+## Output Expectations
+
+When performing this migration, produce:
+
+- The rewritten import(s)
+- A local `options` array or memoized options list
+- Updated single-select state typed as `string | null` when appropriate
+- Removal or adaptation of unsupported old props
+- A short note calling out anything that still needs manual product review
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+- The file no longer imports the deprecated web `Select` or `SelectOption`.
+- The alpha `Select` receives an `options` prop.
+- The selected value type matches alpha expectations.
+- The displayed selected label still matches product intent.
+- Placeholder, helper text, and start/end visuals still render correctly.
+- Layout still looks correct without the old `width` prop.
+
+## Examples
+
+- Basic child-to-options rewrite: `examples/basic.before.tsx` -> `examples/basic.after.tsx`
+- Asset-style example with `valueLabel` removal and media mapping: `examples/asset.before.tsx` -> `examples/asset.after.tsx`

+# API Mapping
+
+This reference supports the `cds-deprecation-v9-to-v10-select-to-alpha-select-web` skill.
+
+## Component Model
+
+Legacy web `Select`:
+
+- Import path is in the old `controls` area.
+- Renders options as `children`.
+- Commonly uses `SelectOption` elements.
+- Stores the displayed string on the control with `value` and sometimes `valueLabel`.
+
+Alpha web `Select`:
+
+- Import path is in `alpha/select`.
+- Renders from an `options` array.
+- Supports single and multi select.
+- Derives selected display content from the selected option and the default control renderer.
+

+| `description`              | `description`      |
+| `value`                    | `value`            |
+| `disabled`                 | `disabled`         |
+| `media`                    | `media`            |
+| `accessory`                | `accessory`        |
+| `end`                      | `end`              |
+
+Ignore old option-only behavior that was tied to legacy dropdown internals unless the product still needs it.
+
+## Common Rewrite Pattern
+
+Before:
+
+```tsx
+<Select value={value} onChange={setValue}>
+  <SelectOption title="Option 1" value="1" />
+  <SelectOption description="BTC" title="Option 2" value="2" />
+</Select>
+```
+
+After:
+
+```tsx
+const options = [
+  { value: '1', label: 'Option 1' },
+  { value: '2', label: 'Option 2', description: 'BTC' },
+];
+
+<Select onChange={setValue} options={options} value={value} />;
+```
+
+## Review Traps
+
+- Old code may have used `valueLabel` to display a human-readable label while storing an opaque ID.
+- Old code may initialize state with `''` instead of `null`.
+- Old code may rely on `width="100%"`; alpha uses standard root styling instead.
+- Old code may contain conditionally rendered options that should become a `useMemo`-generated `options` array.
