Migration Architecture Patterns

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: architecture  ·  Last updated:
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.

Who uses this skill

The Migration Architecture Patterns Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
