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.

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.
