juliusbrussee/caveman/migration
This skill guides the implementation of reversible and compatibility-safe migrations. It emphasizes mapping current readers, writers, data shape, compatibility window, and ownership before editing, and defining both forward and rollback paths. It requires preserving existing data, making destructive steps explicit and separately authorized, ensuring safe mixed-version operation during rollout, and sequencing expand, migrate, verify, then contract when applicable. Retries must be idempotent, partial failures observable, and both old and new paths verified at required transition stages. The skill also stresses stopping after the requested stage passes and not implicitly performing later destructive contraction.

# Migration
Map current readers, writers, data shape, compatibility window, and ownership before editing.
- Define forward path and rollback path.
- Preserve existing data; make destructive steps explicit and separately authorized.
- Keep mixed-version operation safe where rollout can overlap.
- Sequence expand, migrate, verify, then contract when applicable.
- Make retries idempotent and partial failure observable.
- Verify old and new paths at required transition stages.
Stop after requested stage passes; do not perform later destructive contraction implicitly.
