Migrate to MotherDuck

Use this skill when the user needs a migration plan from another warehouse, PostgreSQL estate, or mixed analytics stack onto MotherDuck.

This is a use-case skill. It orchestrates connect, explore, load-data, model-data, query, and ducklake.

Start Here: Is a MotherDuck Server Active?

Always determine this before writing a migration plan.

• If a remote MotherDuck MCP server or local MotherDuck server is active, use it.
• Ask which MotherDuck database or workspace will receive the migration if the user has not specified it.
• Explore the live target side first when available:
  • existing databases and schemas
  • current landing zones
  • current analytical tables
  • naming conventions
  • any partial migration already in place
