## What it does

The skill reads what you run on GCP and picks the AWS counterpart. Cloud Run maps to Fargate, Cloud SQL to RDS, GKE to EKS. It defaults to development-tier sizing such as `db.t4g.micro` in a single AZ, and upgrades only when you ask.

Six phases drive the run: Discover, Clarify, Design, Estimate, Generate, plus optional feedback. Clarify has to finish before Design, Estimate or Generate, so you cannot skip the requirements step. Feed it at least one source: `.tf` files with optional `.tfvars` and `.tfstate`, application code with GCP SDK or AI framework imports, or a billing export in CSV or JSON.

AI workloads get their own path to Amazon Bedrock, including moves off OpenAI, Gemini and LangChain. Model mapping follows compatibility rather than one-to-one parity, so validate prompts, tool-calling behaviour and eval metrics before cutover. If discovery turns up BigQuery, the skill will not name an AWS analytics service for you. It points you to your AWS account team or a data analytics migration partner and marks the design as deferred to a specialist. Worth deciding early who owns your warehouse.

Azure and on-premises migrations, AWS-to-GCP reverse moves, and multi-cloud setups that stay on GCP are outside its scope.

## Requirements
- Works with: AWS, Terraform

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cline/skills --skill gcp-to-aws -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/gcp-to-aws/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/gcp-to-aws/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cline/skills --skill gcp-to-aws -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/gcp-to-aws/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cline/skills --skill gcp-to-aws -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/gcp-to-aws/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install cline/skills gcp-to-aws
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/gcp-to-aws/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cline/skills --skill gcp-to-aws -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/cline/skills --path skills/gcp-to-aws
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/gcp-to-aws/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add cline/skills --skill gcp-to-aws -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/cline/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/gcp-to-aws/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- map GCP resources to AWS services
- port Terraform infrastructure definitions
- estimate the cost of the target architecture
- move an AI workload off OpenAI or Gemini onto Bedrock
- generate migration artifacts in one directory

## Example prompts
- Read my .tf files and design the AWS architecture to replace GCP
- Migrate Cloud SQL to RDS and estimate the cost
- Move my AI app from Anthropic to Amazon Bedrock

description: "Migrate workloads from Google Cloud Platform to AWS — including AI and agentic workloads regardless of cloud provider. Triggers on: migrate from GCP, GCP to AWS, move off Google Cloud, migrate Terraform to AWS, migrate Cloud SQL to RDS, migrate GKE to EKS, migrate Cloud Run to Fargate, Google Cloud migration, migrate from OpenAI to Bedrock, move off OpenAI, switch from ChatGPT API to AWS, migrate from Gemini to Bedrock, migrate LangChain to Bedrock, migrate LangGraph to AWS, migrate agentic workloads to AWS, move AI workloads to AWS, migrate my AI app to AWS. Runs a 6-phase process: discover GCP resources from Terraform files, app code, or billing exports, clarify migration requirements, design AWS architecture, estimate costs, generate migration artifacts, and collect optional feedback. Clarify must finish before Design, Estimate, or Generate. Includes AI provider migration guidance (for example, OpenAI to Amazon Bedrock) by selecting closest-fit Bedrock model families for required modality, latency/quality targets, context windows, and cost constraints. Model mapping is compatibility-guided, not 1:1 parity; validate prompts, tool-calling behavior, and eval metrics before cutover. Do not use for: Azure or on-premises migrations to AWS, AWS-to-GCP reverse migration, general AWS architecture advice without migration intent, GCP-to-GCP refactoring, or multi-cloud deployments that do not involve migrating off GCP."

# GCP-to-AWS Migration Skill

## Philosophy

- **Re-platform by default**: Select AWS services that match GCP workload types (e.g., Cloud Run → Fargate, Cloud SQL → RDS).
- **Dev sizing unless specified**: Default to development-tier capacity (e.g., db.t4g.micro, single AZ). Upgrade only on user direction.
- **No human one-time migration costs**: Do not present human labor, professional services, or people-time work as dollar estimates or "one-time migration cost" budget categories. Vendor charges grounded in data (for example GCP data transfer egress in the infra estimate when billing exists) are allowed.
- **Multi-signal approach**: Design phase adapts based on available inputs — Terraform IaC for infrastructure, billing data for service mapping, and app code for AI workload detection.
