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 motherduck-connect, motherduck-explore, motherduck-load-data, motherduck-model-data, motherduck-query, and motherduck-ducklake.

Start Here: Is a MotherDuck Server Active?

• If a remote MotherDuck MCP server or local MotherDuck server is active, use it.
• Discover the target database or workspace from the active context. Ask only when multiple plausible targets remain and the choice would materially change the migration.
• 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

Also capture the source-side shape:
