migration-planner

migration-planner is a skill for Claude Code from jakesterns/agent-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (338 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for moving software from one framework, library, API, database design, runtime, or architecture to another. It lays out phases, compatibility checks, verification, rollout, and rollback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan version upgrades, framework changes, database schema moves, API replacements, architecture changes, staged releases, and recovery plans.
Why use it?
It helps reduce outages and breaking changes by finding affected parts and keeping the system working during the move.

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-planner 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Migration Planner

Use this skill when a user wants to move from one version, framework, library, API, runtime, schema, or architecture pattern to another.

Inputs

  • Current and target versions or architectures
  • Affected services, packages, database objects, APIs, or user workflows
  • Constraints such as downtime tolerance, compatibility requirements, release windows, and rollback needs

Steps

  1. Inventory the affected surface area: imports, configuration, APIs, data schemas, tests, generated code, documentation, and deployment paths.
  2. Identify breaking changes, compatibility gaps, deprecations, behavior changes, and transitive dependency impacts.
  3. Split the migration into phases that preserve working software after each phase.
  4. Define verification for each phase: unit tests, integration tests, smoke checks, data validation, metrics, and manual QA.
  5. Plan rollout and rollback: feature flags, dual writes, compatibility shims, canaries, backups, and cutover criteria.
  6. Call out high-risk unknowns and create small discovery tasks for them.
  7. Produce an implementation order that minimizes blast radius.

Output

Return:

  • Migration summary and scope
  • Phased plan with tasks, owners or modules, and validation
  • Breaking changes and compatibility strategy
  • Rollout and rollback plan
  • Open questions and risk register

Guidelines

  • Prefer reversible phases over large rewrites.
  • Keep user-facing behavior stable unless the migration explicitly changes it.
  • Separate discovery tasks from implementation tasks.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
