What it does

Migration Day Runbook is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Move a team's files to a new platform without losing work or a week — the pre-migration freeze, the verified copy, the permissions remap, the cutover announcement, and the old-system read-only afterlife. Use when asked we're moving from Dropbox to Drive, migrate our files to SharePoint, plan the file migration day, or how do we switch platforms safely. Produces the migration runbook: freeze window, copy-and-verify steps, permissions mapping, the cutover comms, and the rollback line.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Runbooks and postmortems and Cloud office suites. It works with Microsoft SharePoint and Dropbox. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked were moving from Dropbox to Drive
  • Migrate our files to SharePoint
  • Plan the file migration day

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

    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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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.

Context cost

Migration Day Runbook loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 745 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~127
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

description
Move a team's files to a new platform without losing work or a week — the pre-migration freeze, the verified copy, the permissions remap, the cutover announcement, and the old-system read-only afterlife. Use when asked we're moving from Dropbox to Drive, migrate our files to SharePoint, plan the file migration day, or how do we switch platforms safely. Produces the migration runbook: freeze window, copy-and-verify steps, permissions mapping, the cutover comms, and the rollback line.

Migration Day Runbook Skill

File migrations fail at the edges, not the middle: work edited during the copy window (lost or forked), permissions that mapped wrong (the intern sees the comp sheet; Legal sees nothing), links across the company now pointing at a dead platform, and an old system left writable so half the team never leaves. The runbook handles the edges: a short announced freeze, copy with verification (counts and spot-checks, not vibes), a permissions remap done as its own workstream, cutover comms with the three answers everyone needs, and the old platform flipped read-only — the single move that makes migrations stick.

What This Skill Produces

  • The runbook — phased: prepare → freeze → copy → verify → permissions → cutover → afterlife, each with owner and duration
  • The verification plan — counts by folder, spot-restores, and the biggest-risk samples checked by hand
  • The permissions remap — old-model groups/shares → new-model equivalents, with the deny-by-default posture for mismatches
  • The comms set — the advance notice, the freeze reminder, and the cutover announcement with its three answers

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • From → to, and the size — platforms, volume (GB and file count), and any known exotica (huge files, weird formats, apps writing into the old drive)
  • The sharing surface — external shares, published links, and integrations pointing at the old platform; each is a breakage waiting for its line in the runbook
  • The freeze tolerance — can the team stop editing for a day? A weekend? Never (then the delta-sync approach, stated)?
  • The permission model gap — how sharing works old vs. new; the remap is where migrations quietly leak confidential files

Framework: The Edge Rules

  1. Freeze short, announce twice: the copy happens inside a declared no-edits window (evening/weekend for most teams) — announced a week out and the day before. Edits during the copy are the classic loss; the freeze is cheaper than the fork-hunt.
  2. Verify by count and by sample: post-copy: file counts per top-level folder old-vs-new, total size within tolerance, and hand-checks of the highest-stakes folders (Legal, Finance, the current projects). A migration is "done" when verification says so, not when the progress bar does.
  3. Permissions are a workstream, not a checkbox: inventory the old platform's shares (especially external ones), map to the new model, and where the models don't align, fail closed — over-restricting gets a complaint ticket; over-sharing gets an incident. External shares get re-issued deliberately, not bulk-recreated.
  4. The cutover announcement answers exactly three questions: where do I go now (the link) · what happened to my stuff (same structure, here's the map) · what do I do if something's missing (the named person, the SLA). Everything else is noise; these three prevent the help-desk flood.
  5. The old platform goes read-only, immediately: the afterlife rule — readable for the transition period (comfort + the missing-file safety net), writable never (or half the team quietly stays). A read-only banner pointing at the new home does more for adoption than any training session. Decommission date set now, calendar-reminded, executed after the retention check (document-retention-map).

Output Format

Migration Runbook: [old] → [new], [date]

Phases

PhaseWhenOwnerDuration
[Prepare (inventory, permissions map, comms 1) · Freeze · Copy · Verify · Permissions · Cutover (comms 3) · Afterlife (read-only flip)]

Verification Plan

[Counts per top folder · size tolerance · the hand-check list (highest-stakes folders) · the pass/fail line]

Permissions Remap

[Old shares inventory → new equivalents · fail-closed mismatches · external shares re-issued deliberately]

Comms

[T-7 notice · T-1 freeze reminder · cutover announcement: the three answers + the missing-file contact]

Rollback Line

[The condition that aborts (verification fails, permissions can't map) · rollback = unfreeze the old, reschedule — cheap because the old is untouched until read-only]

Quality Checks

  • The copy happens inside an announced freeze
  • Verification is counts + samples with a pass/fail line, before cutover comms
  • Permission mismatches fail closed, external shares handled by hand
  • The announcement answers exactly the three questions with a named missing-file contact
  • The old platform is read-only from cutover, with a decommission date set

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not copy a live drive — the freeze is one evening; the fork-hunt is one month
  • Do not trust the progress bar as verification — counts and samples or it didn't happen
  • Do not bulk-recreate external shares — each one re-issued is each one re-decided
  • Do not leave the old platform writable "during transition" — that's two sources of truth, i.e., zero
  • Do not skip the rollback line — a migration that can't abort will be pushed through broken

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "We're moving from Dropbox to Drive."
  • "Migrate our files to SharePoint."
  • "Plan the file migration day."
  • "How do we switch platforms safely?"
