Migration Day Runbook

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-07-19 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-cowork

Move a team's files to a new platform without losing work or a week — the pre-migration freeze, the verified copy, the permissions remap, the cutover announcement, and the old-system read-only afterlife. Use when asked we're moving from Dropbox to Drive, migrate our files to SharePoint, plan the file migration day, or how do we switch platforms safely. Produces the migration runbook: freeze window, copy-and-verify steps, permissions mapping, the cutover comms, and the rollback line.

What to give it

From → to, and the size — platforms, volume (GB and file count), and any known exotica (huge files, weird formats, apps writing into the old drive)
The sharing surface — external shares, published links, and integrations pointing at the old platform; each is a breakage waiting for its line in the runbook
The freeze tolerance — can the team stop editing for a day? A weekend? Never (then the delta-sync approach, stated)?
The permission model gap — how sharing works old vs. new; the remap is where migrations quietly leak confidential files

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

The copy happens inside an announced freeze
Verification is counts + samples with a pass/fail line, before cutover comms
Permission mismatches fail closed, external shares handled by hand
The announcement answers exactly the three questions with a named missing-file contact
The old platform is read-only from cutover, with a decommission date set

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not copy a live drive — the freeze is one evening; the fork-hunt is one month
Do not trust the progress bar as verification — counts and samples or it didn't happen
Do not bulk-recreate external shares — each one re-issued is each one re-decided
Do not leave the old platform writable "during transition" — that's two sources of truth, i.e., zero
Do not skip the rollback line — a migration that can't abort will be pushed through broken
