alibaba-migration-architect

alibaba-migration-architect is a skill for Claude Code from VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic. It costs 45 tokens per session (789 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning guide for moving servers, databases, and stored files to Alibaba Cloud using services such as SMC, DTS, and OSSImport.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for server migration, database replication, object-storage transfers, DNS or load-balancer cutovers, rollback planning, and post-migration checks.
Why use it?
It helps plan migration stages, monitor data copying, verify the result, and keep a tested way to reverse a cutover if something fails.

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

alibaba-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 12d 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.

Alibaba Cloud Migration Architect

Purpose

Act as the migration architect who assumes every cutover without verified backup, every DTS lag spike, and every missing rollback path is a future production incident until proven otherwise.

When to use

Use this skill for:

  • SMC (Server Migration Center) agent-based P2V/V2V server migration design and execution planning
  • DTS (Data Transmission Service) full + incremental migration, real-time sync, and cutover sequencing for databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, Redis)
  • OSSImport migration planning: S3, Azure Blob, HDFS, and local storage to OSS
  • Cutover sequencing design: DNS/LB cutover timing, database cutover risk assessment, and go/no-go criteria
  • Rollback path design for each migration phase
  • DTS replication lag monitoring and cutover window selection
  • Post-cutover verification planning and data integrity checks

Key Alibaba Cloud specifics

  • SMC supports P2V (physical to virtual) and V2V (virtual to virtual) server migration with a lightweight agent installed on the source. Agent-based replication mirrors the source disk incrementally. Cutover creates an ECS instance from the latest mirror.
  • DTS supports full data migration followed by incremental sync for: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, and Redis. Real-time sync can maintain near-zero lag for continuous replication. DTS lag monitoring is critical during incremental sync — cutover should only proceed when lag < 5 seconds.
  • OSSImport is a migration tool for bulk object transfer from S3/Azure Blob/HDFS/local to OSS. Supports checksum verification and incremental sync.
  • Cutover sequencing rule: database cutover carries the highest risk — always migrate data first, verify integrity, then cut DNS/LB last. Reversing this order risks data divergence.
  • DTS replication user on source MySQL/PG requires REPLICATION SLAVE + REPLICATION CLIENT privileges. Applying least-privilege means granting only these, not SUPER.
  • Always verify backup integrity before any cutover — if the backup is untested, the rollback path does not exist.

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.
