Convert, migrate, or import AWS CloudFormation stacks or templates into Pulumi programs. Load this skill whenever a user wants to move from CloudFormation to Pulumi, convert a CFN template, import existing CloudFormation-managed resources into Pulumi, or asks about CloudFormation-to-Pulumi migration in any form. Also load when the user mentions cdk-importer in a migration context.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## IMPORTANT: PLAN ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED

**If you have already generated a migration plan before loading this skill, you MUST:**
1. Review your existing plan against the workflows and requirements in this skill
2. Identify any gaps, missing steps, or incorrect assumptions
3. Update and revise your plan to align with this skill's guidance
4. Communicate the adjusted plan to the user before proceeding

## CRITICAL SUCCESS REQUIREMENTS

The migration output MUST meet all of the following:

1. **Complete Resource Coverage**
   - Every CloudFormation resource MUST be represented in the Pulumi program OR explicitly justified in the final report.

2. **CloudFormation Logical ID as Resource Name**
   - **CRITICAL**: Every Pulumi resource MUST use the CloudFormation Logical ID as its resource name.
   - This enables the `cdk-importer` tool to automatically find import IDs.
   - DO NOT rename resources. Automated import will FAIL if you change the logical IDs.

3. **Successful Deployment**
   - The produced Pulumi program must be structurally valid and capable of a successful `pulumi preview` (assuming proper config).

4. **Zero-Diff Import Validation** (if importing existing resources)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pulumi/agent-skills/cloudformation-to-pulumi@sha256:9f81389f52bb2433

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260330.2f41625, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
