Migration Architecture Patterns

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Migration Architecture Patterns skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Migration Architecture Patterns is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.

type:audit

Architectural patterns for org migration — org merge (consolidate two orgs into one), org split (separate one org into two), and coexistence (run both for a transition period with identity / data / metadata bridges). Covers the pre-migration metadata audit (the most-skipped step), the why-vs-how decision separation for splits, record-Id remapping for external systems that hardcoded 15/18-digit IDs, and rollback-safe deployment windows. NOT for the go-live cutover sequencing itself (see devops/go-live-cutover-planning), NOT for the upstream multi-org-strategy decision (see architect/multi-org-strategy).

From the source SKILL.md

The architecture-level decisions for org migration. Three shapes — merge, split, coexistence — each with its own discipline of metadata audit, data partitioning, identity continuity, and rollback planning. The cutover mechanics (freeze windows, parallel-run vs hard-cutover, runbook ordering) live in devops/go-live-cutover-planning. The upstream "should we have one org or many" decision lives in architect/multi-org-strategy. This skill is the how-to-execute layer in between.

What this skill does

Migration Architecture Patterns is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the architecture sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/migration-architecture-patterns/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
