What it does

Algolia Migration Deep Dive is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Plan and execute a reversible migration from another search system or legacy index design to Algolia. Use when translating schemas, queries, relevance behavior, or production traffic. Trigger with "migrate to Algolia", "Algolia cutover", or "search engine migration".

Its SKILL.md is about 1000 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Search implementation. It works with Algolia. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Translating schemas
  • Relevance behavior
  • Production traffic
  • With migrate to Algolia

Example prompts

  • “migrate to Algolia”
  • “Algolia cutover”
  • “search engine migration”
  • “/algolia-migration-deep-dive”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inventory source schema, analyzers, queries, filters, facets, ranking behavior, traffic, and operational constraints.
  2. Define the Algolia record model, stable IDs, settings, synonyms, rules, and unsupported semantic gaps.
  3. Backfill a new target index from a reproducible source snapshot and retain task receipts.
  4. Run structural checks, representative query comparisons, latency observations, and UI acceptance tests.
  5. Shadow or canary traffic when available, with named rollback thresholds and owners.
  6. Cut over only after approval, then reconcile drift and retain the rollback window.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • algolia.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Algolia Migration Deep Dive loads about 996 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 380 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~996
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Algolia Search Migration

Overview

This skill treats migration as a measured compatibility program: source data, query semantics, ranking, filters, UI behavior, traffic, and rollback are assessed separately before cutover.

Prerequisites

  • A named repository, environment, and Algolia application or index in scope
  • The local lockfile and installed client types as implementation authority
  • A safe read-only query or explicitly disposable test target
  • Current first-party documentation for any provider behavior that affects the change

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect local code, configuration names, tests, and dependency versions. Use WebFetch only for current official Algolia documentation. Use Write or Edit only after identifying the target files, constraints, and verification plan.

Current Contract

  • Preserve the source system as the rollback authority until acceptance criteria pass.
  • Translate capabilities from observed queries and product journeys, not feature-name similarity.
  • Build a new target index and avoid in-place destructive conversion.
  • Compare relevance with a representative, owner-approved query set and explicit tolerances.

Authentication

Use separate least-privilege credentials for source reads, Algolia writes, and browser search. Keep all secret material outside migration artifacts.

Instructions

  1. Inventory source schema, analyzers, queries, filters, facets, ranking behavior, traffic, and operational constraints.
  2. Define the Algolia record model, stable IDs, settings, synonyms, rules, and unsupported semantic gaps.
  3. Backfill a new target index from a reproducible source snapshot and retain task receipts.
  4. Run structural checks, representative query comparisons, latency observations, and UI acceptance tests.
  5. Shadow or canary traffic when available, with named rollback thresholds and owners.
  6. Cut over only after approval, then reconcile drift and retain the rollback window.

Approval Boundaries

Do not overwrite the current production index, declare relevance equivalence from a few queries, or retire the source system before rollback expiry.

Output

Return the capability map, data transform, gap register, backfill evidence, query comparison, cutover plan, acceptance decision, and rollback procedure.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Unsupported query featureDocument the gap and design an approved product alternative.
Record counts differReconcile filtering, deletes, and source snapshot boundaries.
Relevance regressesKeep source traffic and tune against the approved query set.
Rollback data driftsDefine dual-write or replay before cutover.

Examples

Use this compact input and expected handoff to calibrate scope and evidence quality.

Input:

text
source=legacy-search; snapshot=snap-184; target=products_algolia_next

Expected handoff:

text
records=reconciled; query-suite=198/200; two-gaps=owner-review; cutover=not-started
