Redis To Valkey
Migrate Redis deployments (especially Bitnami Redis Helm charts in Sentinel HA mode) to Valkey on Kubernetes, including fully air-gapped clusters. Core knowledge: the RDB-version wall (Valkey replicates/loads only from Redis ≤ 7.2.x; Redis 7.4+ writes RDB v12 which Valkey rejects; Valkey 9 writes its own v80 — a one-way door), the two transfer layers (version-bound REPLICAOF/DUMP-RESTORE vs version-agnostic logical replay with RedisShake or rdb-cli), a side-by-side cutover runbook, Valkey chart selection (groundhog2k / CloudPirates / official valkey-io tradeoffs), Bitnami-redis→valkey values translation, consumer-app reconnection (Sentinel discovery, master-set names, frozen redis_version 7.2.4), Prometheus exporter continuity, air-gap tool/image mirroring, and Argo CD source rewiring away from charts.bitnami.com. Part of the bitnami-exit suite.

From the source SKILL.md
Migrate Redis (Bitnami-chart Sentinel HA or any standalone/replicated Redis) to Valkey on Kubernetes with data intact, clients reconnected, and no dependency left on dead-ended Bitnami artifacts. Facts below were verified 2026-07-18 against primary sources (valkey source at release tags, chart repos, vendor docs); re-verify anything version-gated before relying on it in a later year.
What this skill does
Redis To Valkey is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the databases sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/redis-to-valkey/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Redis To Valkey 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 156,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the Redis To Valkey skill?
Use Redis To Valkey when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the databases area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Redis To Valkey" or describe the task and let Claude pick).

/category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Redis To Valkey 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. Redis To Valkey is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category. Learn more at
