509 stars

Best use case

migration-validator is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Validate functional equivalence after migration with side-by-side comparison and behavioral verification

Teams using migration-validator should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Migration Validator Skill

Validates functional equivalence between source and target systems after migration through comprehensive comparison and behavioral verification.

## Purpose

Enable migration validation for:
- Side-by-side comparison
- Output diffing
- Behavioral verification
- Data consistency checking
- Acceptance criteria verification

## Capabilities

### 1. Side-by-Side Comparison
- Run parallel requests
- Compare responses
- Track differences
- Document discrepancies

### 2. Output Diffing
- Compare API responses
- Diff file outputs
- Check data formats
- Validate transformations

### 3. Behavioral Verification
- Test user flows
- Verify business logic
- Check edge cases
- Validate error handling

### 4. Data Consistency Checking
- Compare data states
- Verify calculations
- Check relationships
- Validate constraints

### 5. Integration Validation
- Test external integrations
- Verify API contracts
- Check message flows
- Validate events

### 6. Acceptance Criteria Verification
- Check feature completeness
- Verify requirements
- Validate user stories
- Document coverage
