migration-day-runbook
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.
npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill migration-day-runbook --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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:

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill migration-day-runbook --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
