What specific problems does the Storage Migration Readiness Review solve?

This skill analyzes your migration documentation, configs, and test logs to identify technical gaps and risks in your cutover plans, rollback strategies, and data reconciliation processes. It ensures your team hasn't overlooked critical operational details before you flip the switch.

Which AI agents and platforms are compatible with this skill?

It is designed for ToolForge Labs workflows and is compatible with major AI agents that support file-based context, allowing it to process your architectural notes, database diffs, and validation logs directly.

What kind of evidence or files do I need to provide for a thorough review?

The skill accepts a wide range of inputs including database schemas, migration configuration files, infrastructure-as-code snippets, test execution summaries, and export/import logs.

What exactly is included in the purchase of this skill?

You receive the full ToolForge Labs workflow template, including the logic for evidence-backed finding generation, risk framing, and the automated 'Verified vs. Assumption' reporting structure.

Does this skill require write-access to my live storage infrastructure to perform the review?

No, the skill is designed to operate within your existing environment's security policies, acting as a passive reviewer of supplied evidence without requiring direct write-access to your production databases.

How does the skill handle missing information or unverified migration steps?

The skill explicitly highlights unverified claims and marks items as 'Assumptions' if they aren't backed by your provided logs or docs, ensuring you know exactly what still needs manual validation.

I have reviewed the PostgreSQL migration plan and Terraform configurations. The review focuses on data integrity, cutover sequencing, and rollback feasibility based on the provided snippets.

Storage Migration Readiness Review: On-Prem SAN to RDS

Category	Status	Findings
Source/Target Compatibility	PASS	RDS instance type (db.m6g.4xlarge) matches IOPS requirements of the source SAN.
Change Capture	WARNING	Runbook mentions logical replication but lacks the `max_replication_slots` config for the source.
Reconciliation	BLOCKER	No byte-count or checksum verification step is defined for the final cutover sync.
Rollback Path	GAP	Evidence of a tested "reverse sync" or point-in-time recovery to SAN is missing.
Monitoring	PASS	CloudWatch alarms for StorageFree and WriteLatency are defined in Terraform.

Blockers and Evidence Gaps

Missing Reconciliation Logic: The plan lacks a script or command to verify record counts between the SAN and RDS before DNS cutover.
2.

Replication Slot Config: Verification of source DB parameter wal_level=logical is required but not documented in the pre-flight check.
3.

Rollback Validation: There is no evidence that the rollback trigger (e.g., latency > 500ms) has an automated or verified manual path back to the SAN once the write-lock is released.

Approval Questions for Owners

Has the pg_checksums utility been run on the source to ensure no existing block corruption will be replicated?
Who is the designated owner for the final Go/No-Go decision if replication lag exceeds the 5-minute freeze window?

Next steps

Add a checksum or row-count comparison step to the cutover.md runbook.
Verify source database postgresql.conf settings for replication compatibility.
Define the specific rollback procedure for the 15-minute post-cutover window.

About this skill

Storage Migration Readiness Review is a bounded ToolForge Labs workflow. Review storage migrations across databases, object stores, filesystems, caches, indexes, replicas, exports/imports, validation, cutover, rollback, reconciliation, and operational ownership. Works from supplied evidence or workspace files such as documents, logs, configuration, diffs, architecture notes, test summaries, and rollout materials. Produces evidence-backed findings, readiness gaps, risk framing, and practical next actions while preserving existing product/security policy. The skill separates verified facts from assumptions, avoids invented execution claims, and highlights what remains unverified or requires follow-up outside supplied evidence.
