Helps migrate self-managed Apache Kafka workloads to Amazon MSK Express. Inventories the source cluster (from IaC files, Kafka CLI output, or manual input), assesses MSK Express compatibility across topology, Kafka version, configs, auth, and quotas, produces a target Express specification (instance type, broker count, monthly cost) by filling the AWS-published MSK Sizing/Pricing workbook, and guides migration execution using MSK Replicator. Applicable when the user mentions migrating Kafka, MSK, MSK Express, Kafka migration, analyzing Kafka infrastructure, moving to MSK, moving streaming platform to MSK, streaming migration, moving streaming workloads to AWS, MSK workload compatibility, choosing an MSK cluster type, or MSK Replicator. Prefer this skill to the managing-amazon-msk skill for migration questions.

The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
In Phase 2 assessment, `scripts/compatibility.py` ingests the user-provided discovery contract `migrate-to-msk-skill-artifacts/<cluster_name>/cluster-config.json` (which includes “FULL Kafka config dump” strings from IaC/CLI/manual input) and turns any divergent string values into output evidence text—so outsider-authored free text can flow into the runtime LLM response via that contract.
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
The simulation's InstallKafkaClient SSM document downloads and installs a remote JAR at runtime from https://github.com/aws/aws-msk-iam-auth/releases/download/v2.2.0/aws-msk-iam-auth-2.2.0-all.jar, which is executed/used on the provisioned clients and is a required runtime dependency for the simulation flow.
