End-to-end playbook for moving a Laravel or static site from a Forge/DigitalOcean server to Laravel Cloud, from preflight to decommissioning the old droplet.

  • Asked to move a site to Laravel Cloud
  • SKILL.md covers Ground rules, 1. Preflight, 2. Upgrade old Laravel to 13 /… and 3. Cloud setup, plus 4 more sections

What it does

Move Site To Laravel Cloud is an agent skill from freekmurze/dotfiles. End-to-end playbook for moving a Laravel or static site from a Forge/DigitalOcean server to Laravel Cloud, from preflight to decommissioning the old droplet. Use when asked to "move a site to Laravel Cloud", "migrate from Forge to Cloud", "cut over to Cloud", "decommission the old server", "upgrade an old Laravel app so it can run on Cloud", or when planning or briefing such a move. For day-to-day Cloud commands see the laravel-cloud-ops skill; for Openprovider DNS changes see the openprovider-dns skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development. It works with Laravel.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to move a site to Laravel Cloud
  • Migrate from Forge to Cloud
  • Cut over to Cloud
  • Decommission the old server

Example prompts

  • “move a site to Laravel Cloud”
  • “migrate from Forge to Cloud”
  • “cut over to Cloud”
  • “/move-site-to-laravel-cloud”

Requirements

  • A credential in RCLONE_CONFIG_R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Preflight
  2. Upgrade old Laravel to 13 / PHP 8.5
  3. Cloud setup
  4. Data
  5. Verification (before touching DNS)
  6. Cutover
  7. Decommission (per-item approval)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8874280. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • php
    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • DB_PASSWORD
    • RCLONE_CONFIG_R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID
    • RCLONE_CONFIG_R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Move Site To Laravel Cloud loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,251 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~134
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:123
    `sudo nginx -t && sudo service nginx reload`, then `curl --resolve example.com:443:<old-ip> https://example.com/` must

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,251 words (~2,634 tokens).

“A phased checklist distilled from moving ~35 sites from Forge/DigitalOcean to Laravel Cloud. Work through the phases in order. Do not skip preflight.”
