Migration Diagnosis

Diagnose and fix failed migrations

When a migration fails, use the Diagnose Migration skill to classify the root cause and post a structured remediation plan as a comment on the issue so your team knows exactly what went wrong and what to do next.

Migration failures can be opaque. A comment on a backlog issue might say "migration failed" and link to a runner log with hundreds of lines. The agent cuts through that noise by reading the evidence and surfacing only what matters.

How to Use It

1. Open the backlog issue in Migration HQ for the repository whose migration has failed.

2. Assign the issue to the Packfiles Warp agent with the instructions: "Diagnose the migration failure."

The agent categorizes the failure and posts a diagnosis comment directly on the issue.

What the Diagnosis Contains

The agent posts a comment on the issue with:

• Root cause — a single sentence stating what went wrong

• Remediation steps — a numbered list of specific actions to resolve the issue, including any Warp Vault changes, slash commands, or source system changes needed

• Retry instruction — the exact comment to post on the issue to retry the migration once remediation is complete

For most failure categories, the retry instruction is simply /migrate.

The too-big label (applied by Warp when a repository exceeds 10 GB) is always addressed in the diagnosis, even if another failure category is the primary cause. Size issues are a hard blocker that must be resolved regardless of what else is failing.
