arn-infra-migrate

arn-infra-migrate is a skill for Claude Code from AppsVortex/arness. It costs 142 tokens per session (3,934 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for moving infrastructure between hosting setups. It covers moves from a managed platform to infrastructure as code, between cloud providers, between providers being consolidated, or only part of a system.

In plain words
What is it for?
It plans the move, creates target infrastructure-as-code, deploys incrementally to staging, verifies the result, switches over, and cleans up the old setup.
Why use it?
It breaks a risky infrastructure move into tracked tasks with dependencies, checks, rollback steps, and staged deployment. It also warns other workflows about an active migration to reduce conflicting changes.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

arn-infra-migrate 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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 412 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Arness Infra Migrate

Handle infrastructure migrations as tracked projects with four scenarios: PaaS-to-IaC graduation, provider-to-provider migration, provider consolidation, and partial migration. Creates a parent issue with migration overview and decomposes into individual task issues with dependencies, verification criteria, and rollback procedures.

This skill manages the full migration lifecycle: planning, IaC generation for the target, incremental deployment to staging, verification, cutover, and cleanup. It warns other skills about in-progress migrations to prevent conflicting changes.

Prerequisites

Read ## Arness from the project's CLAUDE.md. If no ## Arness section exists or Arness Infra fields are missing, inform the user: "Arness Infra is not configured for this project yet. Run /arn-infra-wizard to get started — it will set everything up automatically." Do not proceed without it.

Check the Deferred field. If Deferred: yes, inform the user: "Infrastructure is in deferred mode. Migration is not available until infrastructure is fully configured. Run /arn-infra-assess to un-defer." Stop.

Extract:

  • Experience level -- derived from user profile. Read ~/.arness/user-profile.yaml (or .claude/arness-profile.local.md if it exists — project override takes precedence). Apply the experience derivation mapping from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/arn-infra-ensure-config/references/experience-derivation.md. If no profile exists, check for legacy Experience level in ## Arness as fallback.
  • Providers -- current cloud providers
  • Providers config -- path to providers.md
  • Default IaC tool -- the target IaC tool for graduation migrations
  • Environments -- environment list for staged migration
  • Environments config -- path to environments.md
  • Issue tracker -- for creating migration project issues (github, jira, none)
  • Platform -- for issue management
  • Infra plans directory -- for migration plan storage (default: .arness/infra-plans)
  • Jira site and Jira project -- if Issue tracker is jira

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.
