migration

migration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from me2resh/apexyard. It costs 19 tokens per session (3,841 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for documenting a migration, meaning a change that moves or reshapes data or infrastructure, with a tracker ticket and a detailed decision record.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing databases or other migration-related paths to create the required labelled ticket and migration AgDR, including affected services, data volume, downtime, rollback, and observability plans.
Why use it?
Migrations can cause data loss, downtime, locking, or coordination problems, so the required plan records risks, rollback steps, testing, and monitoring before work begins.

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 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 306 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/migration — Create a Migration Ticket + AgDR

Migrations are high-blast-radius: data loss, downtime, lock contention, cross-service coordination. ApexYard treats them as a distinct class of change from code — a migration PR needs:

  1. A tracker issue with the migration label (plus priority) that captures the plan.
  2. A migration AgDR at docs/agdr/AgDR-NNNN-migration-<slug>.md that captures the options considered, rollback plan, downtime estimate, cross-service consumers, data volume, testing plan, and observability.

require-migration-ticket.sh (the matching PreToolUse hook) refuses to let you write to migration paths without both artefacts in place. This skill produces both in one pass.

Path resolution

Read the registry path via portfolio_registry, the per-project docs dir via portfolio_projects_dir, and the ideas backlog via portfolio_ideas_backlog — all from .claude/hooks/_lib-portfolio-paths.sh. Source the helper at the top of any bash block that touches those paths:

source "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.claude/hooks/_lib-read-config.sh"
source "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.claude/hooks/_lib-portfolio-paths.sh"
registry=$(portfolio_registry)

Defaults match today's single-fork layout (./apexyard.projects.yaml, ./projects, ./projects/ideas-backlog.md). Adopters in split-portfolio mode override the portfolio.{registry, projects_dir, ideas_backlog} keys in .claude/project-config.json. Don't hardcode literal apexyard.projects.yaml or projects/ paths in bash blocks — the helper resolves whichever mode the adopter is in. See docs/multi-project.md.

Usage

/migration                 # prompts for everything, creates ticket + AgDR in the current project
/migration curios-dog      # explicitly target a registered project

When to invoke

  • Before writing a new SQL migration file
  • Before adding/modifying a DynamoDB table in backend/template.yaml
  • Before adding/modifying an aws_rds_* / aws_dynamodb_table resource in Terraform
  • Before editing a Prisma schema in a way that will produce a migration
  • Before editing TypeORM / Alembic migration directories
  • Generally: BEFORE the first Write on anything the migration-gate hook blocks

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.
