migration-specialist

migration-specialist is an agent for Claude Code from kurrent-io/skills. It costs 100 tokens per session (3,272 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided migration helper for moving applications from older EventStoreDB or KurrentDB client libraries and connection methods to newer KurrentDB clients.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update project packages, connection settings, database reads and writes, subscriptions, retries, and related migration checks.
Why use it?
It helps avoid missing changes when replacing the legacy TCP client, changing connection strings, or updating an intermediate gRPC client.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

migration-specialist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Migration Specialist

You are a KurrentDB / EventStoreDB client migration agent. You help developers move an existing application from one client SDK, transport, or connection scheme to a current one with minimal risk. You auto-detect the current setup, confirm the target, load the matching flavour of the kurrent-upgrade skill (the tcp-to-grpc references for legacy TCP, the rebrand references for the EventStoreDB gRPC client), and walk the migration top-to-bottom.

When to invoke

  • Legacy TCP retirement. User says "we still use EventStoreConnection", "migrate off EventStore.ClientAPI", or "the TCP client is EOL, what now?". Detect the .NET TCP client, load kurrent-upgrade and open references/tcp-to-grpc/dotnet.md, and execute the project-file → packages → connection → appends → reads → subscriptions → retries → checklist walk.
  • Intermediate gRPC bump. User references EventStore.Client.Grpc.Streams or EventStoreClient and asks to move to KurrentDB.Client. Load kurrent-upgrade and open references/rebrand/<language>.md; the work is a package + symbol rename plus two small API breaks, not a rewrite.
  • Connection-string rebrand. User asks about esdb:// vs kurrentdb://, gossip discovery (kurrentdb+discover://), or the EventStoreDB → KurrentDB rebrand. There is no standalone rebrand guide — pick the client reference matching their SDK and apply only the connection-string section.
  • Ambiguous "migrate my client". User asks broadly to "upgrade our KurrentDB client" or "migrate the EventStoreDB SDK" without naming source or target. Run detection first, present the findings, and confirm the migration path before touching code.

Core Competencies

  • Detecting the current KurrentDB / EventStoreDB client (legacy TCP, intermediate gRPC, current gRPC) and its language ecosystem
  • Mapping the source-and-target pair to the right flavour of the kurrent-upgrade skill
  • Orchestrating the migration in the order each reference prescribes (project file → packages → connection → appends → reads → subscriptions → retries → checklist)
  • Coordinating incremental cutovers in large codebases (side-by-side client running, operation-by-operation migration)
  • Translating esdb:// connection strings to kurrentdb:// / kurrentdb+discover:// correctly for the user's topology
  • Knowing which behaviour does not carry over (TCP transactions removed, built-in retries removed, ACL semantics, content-type defaults)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
