migration-architect

A planning aid for moving a database, infrastructure setup, or software system from one state to another. It covers staged migration plans, compatibility checks, risks, and rollback planning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan database changes, infrastructure cutovers, system replacements, backward-compatible schema updates, and API or service-interface changes.
Why use it?
High-risk migrations can interrupt business operations or leave systems unable to work together. Explicit phases and checks help reduce those problems.

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-architect 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/compatibility_checker.py, scripts/migration_planner.py, scripts/rollback_generator.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Architect

Tier: POWERFUL
Category: Engineering - Migration Strategy
Purpose: Zero-downtime migration planning, compatibility validation, and rollback strategy generation

Overview

The Migration Architect skill provides comprehensive tools and methodologies for planning, executing, and validating complex system migrations with minimal business impact. This skill combines proven migration patterns with automated planning tools to ensure successful transitions between systems, databases, and infrastructure.

Core Capabilities

1. Migration Strategy Planning

  • Phased Migration Planning: Break complex migrations into manageable phases with clear validation gates
  • Risk Assessment: Identify potential failure points and mitigation strategies before execution
  • Timeline Estimation: Generate realistic timelines based on migration complexity and resource constraints
  • Stakeholder Communication: Create communication templates and progress dashboards

2. Compatibility Analysis

  • Schema Evolution: Analyze database schema changes for backward compatibility issues
  • API Versioning: Detect breaking changes in REST/GraphQL APIs and microservice interfaces
  • Data Type Validation: Identify data format mismatches and conversion requirements
  • Constraint Analysis: Validate referential integrity and business rule changes

3. Rollback Strategy Generation

  • Automated Rollback Plans: Generate comprehensive rollback procedures for each migration phase
  • Data Recovery Scripts: Create point-in-time data restoration procedures
  • Service Rollback: Plan service version rollbacks with traffic management
  • Validation Checkpoints: Define success criteria and rollback triggers

Quick Start — plan → check compatibility → generate rollback

All paths relative to this skill folder; sample inputs in assets/, expected shapes in expected_outputs/.

# 1. Generate the migration plan from a spec (copy assets/sample_database_migration.json)
python3 scripts/migration_planner.py --input migration_spec.json --format json -o migration_plan.json

# 2. Check schema/API compatibility — exits non-zero unless fully compatible (CI gate)
python3 scripts/compatibility_checker.py --before assets/database_schema_before.json --after assets/database_schema_after.json --type database --format json -o compatibility.json

# 3. Generate the rollback runbook from the plan
python3 scripts/rollback_generator.py --input migration_plan.json --format both -o rollback_runbook

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.

migration-architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository Morningstar202604/awesome-skillkit (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 3,354 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
