Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
This skill automates and streamlines the process of migrating databases. It handles schema changes, data transformations, and ensures minimal downtime during the migration. The tool supports various database systems and provides detailed progress tracking and error handling capabilities.
When to use it
- Migrating a legacy MySQL database to PostgreSQL for improved performance.
- Upgrading a production MongoDB instance to a newer version with breaking schema changes.
- Consolidating data from multiple smaller databases into a single, centralized database.
- Moving a database to a new cloud provider (e.g., AWS RDS to Google Cloud SQL).
Key capabilities
- Schema migration
- Data transformation
- Downtime minimization
- Multi-database system support
- Progress tracking
- Error handling
Example prompts
- "Migrate the 'customers' database from MySQL to PostgreSQL, ensuring all data is transferred."
- "Upgrade our MongoDB instance to version 5.0 and handle any schema incompatibilities automatically."
- “Consolidate the ‘orders’ and ‘payments’ databases into a single ‘transactions’ database.”
Tips & gotchas
The skill requires appropriate credentials for both source and destination databases. Always test migrations in a staging environment before applying them to production data.
