Migrating to Amazon Redshift

What this skill is

This skill is AI guidance, not an execution framework. It is entirely Markdown
knowledge (rules, mappings, patterns, best practices) — no executable code. All
execution — conversion, the discovery/migration/validation runners, dependencies, and
infrastructure — you (the AI) generate at runtime from this knowledge, tailored to the
customer's environment.

Principle: knowledge over shipped code → less drift, nothing for the customer to run or
depend on, reliable first-time results. Do not look for a pyproject, a tools package, an
orchestrator engine, or shipped scripts — there are none by design; you generate execution.

Runtime: this skill works with or without the AWS MCP server — step guidance uses AWS
CLI syntax. Running it with the AWS MCP server is recommended for sandboxed execution and
audit logging; without it, the AI runs the generated scripts on the host shell (assumes Bash,
Python 3, and AWS CLI + credentials). Do not assume MCP-only tools are available.
