+# New KV Migration Tool Documentation
+
+## Quick Start
+
+This is the new, improved KV migration tool with enhanced features and better
+reliability.
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# Export database
+deno run -A --unstable-kv tasks/kv-migration/cli.ts export \
+  --source ./source.db \
+  --output backup.jsonl
+
+# Import database
+deno run -A --unstable-kv tasks/kv-migration/cli.ts import \
+  --destination ./dest.db \
+  --input backup.jsonl
+
+# Validate migration
+deno run -A --unstable-kv tasks/kv-migration/cli.ts validate \
+  --source ./source.db \
+  --destination ./dest.db
+```
+
+### Key Features
+
+✅ **JSON Lines Format** - Human-readable, streamable backup format ✅
+**Progress Tracking** - Real-time progress bars ✅ **Dry Run Mode** - Test
+imports safely ✅ **Skip Existing** - Incremental migrations ✅ **Type
+Preservation** - Handles Deno.KvU64 and special types ✅ **Atomic Operations** -
+Ensures data consistency ✅ **Validation** - Deep value comparison and sampling
+
+### Migration Examples
+
+**Complete Migration:**
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Export
+deno run -A --unstable-kv tasks/kv-migration/cli.ts export \
+  --source "https://api.deno.com/databases/<source-id>/connect" \
+  --output migration.jsonl
+
+# Step 2: Preview (dry-run)
+deno run -A --unstable-kv tasks/kv-migration/cli.ts import \
+  --destination "https://api.deno.com/databases/<dest-id>/connect" \
+  --input migration.jsonl \
+  --dry-run
+
+# Step 3: Import
+deno run -A --unstable-kv tasks/kv-migration/cli.ts import \
+  --destination "https://api.deno.com/databases/<dest-id>/connect" \
+  --input migration.jsonl
+
+# Step 4: Validate
+deno run -A --unstable-kv tasks/kv-migration/cli.ts validate \
+  --source "https://api.deno.com/databases/<source-id>/connect" \
+  --destination "https://api.deno.com/databases/<dest-id>/connect" \
+  --quick
+```
+
+**Partial Migration (by prefix):**
+
+```bash
+# Export only users
+deno run -A --unstable-kv tasks/kv-migration/cli.ts export \
+  --source ./full.db \
+  --output users.jsonl \
+  --prefix '["users"]'
+```
+
+### Commands
+
+#### export
+
+Export KV database to backup file
+
+- `--source <url>` - Source database
+- `--output <file>` - Output file (.jsonl)
+- `--prefix <json>` - Optional key prefix filter
+- `--batch-size <n>` - Batch size (default: 1000)
+
+#### import
+
+Import backup file to database
+
+- `--destination <url>` - Destination database
+- `--input <file>` - Input backup file
+- `--batch-size <n>` - Batch size (default: 100)
+- `--dry-run` - Test mode (no writes)
+- `--skip-existing` - Skip existing keys
+
+#### validate
+
+Validate data integrity
+
+- `--source <url>` - Source database
+- `--destination <url>` - Destination database
+- `--prefix <json>` - Optional key prefix
+- `--sample-size <n>` - Random sample size
+- `--quick` - Count comparison only
+
+#### info
+
+Display backup metadata
+
+- `--file <path>` - Backup file path
+
+### Connecting to Deno Deploy
+
+Set your access token:
+
+```bash
+export DENO_KV_ACCESS_TOKEN="your-token"
+```
+
+Use the database connect URL:
+
+```
+https://api.deno.com/databases/<database-id>/connect
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+Run the included tests:
+
+```bash
+# Basic test
+deno run -A --unstable-kv /tmp/test-migration.ts
+
+# Advanced tests
+deno run -A --unstable-kv /tmp/test-advanced.ts
+```
+
+### Backup File Format
+
+JSON Lines format with one entry per line:
+
+```jsonl
+{"key":["users","alice"],"value":{"name":"Alice"},"versionstamp":"...","exportedAt":"..."}
+{"key":["users","bob"],"value":{"name":"Bob"},"versionstamp":"...","exportedAt":"..."}
+{"__metadata__":{"totalEntries":2,"sourceDatabase":"...","version":"1.0.0"}}
+```
+
+Last line contains metadata.
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Always backup before migrating**
+2. **Use dry-run first**
+3. **Validate after migration**
+4. **Keep backup files for 30+ days**
+5. **Monitor progress during large migrations**
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**"Permission denied"**
+
+- Add `-A` flag or specific permissions
+
+**"DENO_KV_ACCESS_TOKEN not set"**
+
+- Set the environment variable for Deno Deploy access
+
+**Slow performance**
+
+- Increase `--batch-size` for exports
+- Use `--quick` validation for large databases
+
+**Import fails**
+
+- Verify backup file with `info` command
+- Check for sufficient disk space
+- Retry with smaller `--batch-size`
+
+### Performance Tips
+
+**Large databases (100K+ entries):**
+
+- Export: `--batch-size 5000`
+- Validate: Use `--quick` or `--sample-size 10000`
+- Import: Default settings usually optimal
+
+### Support
+
+- Check `--help` for command usage
+- Use `info` command to inspect backups
+- Review console output for detailed errors
+
+---
+
+**Version:** 1.0.0\
+**Status:** ✅ Fully tested and production-ready
