Migrate skills, rules, prompts, and MCP configurations between IDEs and AI agents
Install & Use
Copy this prompt and send it to your AI assistant (Claude / Cursor / TRAE / Codex / WorkBuddy etc.) to auto-install:

This Skill addresses the pain point of migrating skills, rules, prompts, commands, and MCP configurations across multiple AI coding assistants (such as Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, Trae). In real-world development, developers often need to switch IDEs or try new AI agents, but accumulated personalized configurations are difficult to transfer. Manual migration is not only tedious but also prone to missing critical files. This Skill provides a standardized migration process to ensure context consistency before and after migration.
Usage is simple: you just need to issue a natural language instruction to the AI assistant, such as "Migrate the skills and rules from the Cursor project to Claude." It will automatically identify the source and target IDEs, read the corresponding reference documentation, first perform a dry-run to preview changes, list all files and modifications to be migrated, and only execute the migration formally after user confirmation. After migration, it will also run validation scripts to check the results. It supports migrating individual objects like skills, rules, and prompts, as well as MCP configuration migration.
It is ideal for teams and individuals who frequently switch development environments or use multiple AI coding agents, especially developers already using tools like Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf simultaneously. For engineering teams needing to unify team AI assistant configurations, this Skill can also help quickly synchronize environments. Additionally, it is a powerful tool for agent developers and DevOps engineers managing multi-environment configurations.
It is recommended to always run the --dry-run mode before migration, carefully review the changes, and avoid accidental overwrites. Note that it does not migrate any sensitive information (such as API keys, OAuth tokens, session history, databases, etc.), which must be manually recreated. For MCP configurations managed via the UI in Claude Desktop (Settings → Extensions), do not attempt to directly modify JSON files; use the UI instead. This Skill currently primarily supports file-based configurations, with limited support for configurations managed within application UIs.
Key Features
Unlike manual copy-paste migration, it provides automated dry-run previews, security policies (automatically skips keys and sensitive data), and cross-IDE reference documentation (e.g., configuration path differences between Cursor and Claude). Compared to general file synchronization tools (like rsync), it understands IDE-specific configuration formats and paths (such as the difference between project-MCP and global MCP) and can automatically validate after migration.
Limitations
The current version (0.6.12) relies on local bash scripts and a Node.js environment, requiring pre-installation; it only supports file-based configuration migration and cannot directly modify MCP configurations managed via the Claude Desktop UI.
FAQ
Which IDEs are supported for migration?
Supports Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, Trae, IflyCode, Raccoon AI, and others. Refer to ide-registry.md for specifics.
Will migration cause data loss?
No, it is read-only by default, with a dry-run preview. Writes occur only after user approval. A complete change list is displayed before migration.
