msk-migration
Use this skill to assess and plan a migration from AWS MSK (Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka) to Confluent Cloud. Triggers on user intent like "migrate MSK to Confluent Cloud", "move off MSK", "MSK to CC cutover", "Zero-Cut migration from MSK", "kcp scan my MSK", or any discussion of MSK-to-CC assessment, planning, cluster sizing, Cluster Linking setup, Gateway-based switchover, or post-cutover validation. Do NOT trigger for non-MSK Kafka sources (open-source Kafka, Aiven, Confluent Platform, Redpanda) — this skill is MSK-only. Do NOT trigger for greenfield Confluent Cloud projects with no existing Kafka source. Do NOT trigger for general Kafka programming questions (producer/consumer code, Kafka Streams) unrelated to migration.

With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "confluentinc/agent-skills:skills/msk-migration" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.

AWS MSK Migration to Confluent Cloud Scope This skill helps with AWS MSK to Confluent Cloud migrations. Three things it does: Answer general migration questions about MSK and Confluent Cloud — concepts (Cluster Linking, the KCP Gateway / Zero-Cut for no-restart cutovers, Schema Linking), feature comparisons (auth, networking, cluster types), tooling (KCP, the cost estimator), and process. Grounded in the skill's references and live-fetched docs. Produce an Assessment of an MSK environment — Red Flags audit, Environment Summary, Topic-Level Readiness — from a KCP state file or a manual intake profile. Produce a Technical Plan for the migration — cluster type, sizing, networking, auth, switchover approach, schema and connector migration paths, pre-migration workstream, risks.
