data-migration-and-platform-cutover

data-migration-and-platform-cutover is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vaquarkhan/data-engineering-agent-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (503 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for moving data systems or workloads from one platform to another, including warehouses, lakehouses, pipelines, and serving systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan data migrations, platform changes, phased cutovers, shadow tests, metric checks, schema checks, and retirement of the old system.
Why use it?
It helps prevent migration failures by requiring compatibility checks, validation, parallel operation, and a workable rollback plan before switching over.

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

data-migration-and-platform-cutover 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 10d 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.

Data Migration And Platform Cutover

Overview

Use this skill when the system is changing platforms or major architectural boundaries. It helps agents plan parallel runs, compatibility layers, validation, and safe cutover rather than treating migration as a one-day switch.

When to Use

  • migrating from one warehouse or lakehouse to another
  • moving pipelines between orchestration or compute systems
  • replatforming storage formats or table engines
  • performing major serving-layer cutovers

Do not start cutover work without a rollback and validation path.

Workflow

  1. Define the migration scope. Include:

    • source platform
    • target platform
    • affected datasets and jobs
    • compatibility expectations
    • cutover window
  2. Choose the migration pattern. Common patterns:

    • parallel run
    • shadow validation
    • phased consumer cutover
    • bulk migration plus freeze window
  3. Define validation gates. Typical gates:

    • row counts
    • metric reconciliation
    • freshness parity
    • schema compatibility
    • performance or cost acceptance
  4. Make rollback real. Rollback should be executable, not a sentence in a plan.

  5. Retire the old path deliberately after confidence is established.

Common Rationalizations

Rationalization Reality
"We can switch everything at once during a quiet window." Hidden downstream dependencies often make big-bang cutovers fragile.
"If the data matches once, we are done." Cutovers also need sustained operational parity and recovery confidence.
"We can keep the old path around indefinitely just in case." Zombie dual paths create confusion and extra risk unless retired deliberately.

Red Flags

  • rollback is not executable
  • consumer cutover is assumed rather than coordinated
  • validation is limited to a one-time row count
  • the old and new systems are both considered source-of-truth after cutover

Verification

  • Migration scope and target behavior are explicit
  • The cutover pattern and validation gates are documented
  • Rollback is real and tested where practical
  • Old-path retirement is planned after stable adoption

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.

data-migration-and-platform-cutover is a skill published in the GitHub repository vaquarkhan/data-engineering-agent-skills (43 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 503 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
