This Skill addresses the issue of environment fragmentation in AI-assisted development. When switching between multiple IDEs or agents like Cursor, Claude, and Trae, MCP server configurations, custom rules, skill packages, prompts, and project contexts often require manual migration, which is prone to omissions or errors, forcing you to rebuild the environment from scratch.
Usage is straightforward: simply specify the source and target IDEs (e.g., from Cursor to Claude) and describe the items to migrate (such as MCP configurations, rules, skills, etc.). The Skill automatically reads the path and format differences between the two sides, generates a migration plan, and first presents a preview in dry-run mode. After confirmation, it proceeds with the actual write operations. The entire process is driven by natural language conversation, eliminating the need for manual configuration file editing.
It is particularly suitable for agent developers, full-stack engineers, and DevOps personnel who frequently switch development environments. This is especially valuable for teams using multiple AI coding assistants (like Cursor + Claude) or leads responsible for unifying AI configurations across team members. For individual developers, it significantly reduces rebuild time when upgrading devices or switching primary tools.
It is recommended to perform a dry run first and carefully review the file and path mappings in the preview. Note that it primarily handles file-level migration; for IDE-specific embedded databases (like Cursor's chat history), complete migration may not be possible. It is best used for configuration-type objects.
Key Features
Unlike IDE-native import/export features (e.g., Cursor's Settings Sync), this solution supports cross-brand tool migration (e.g., from Windsurf to Claude), covers more object types such as MCP servers, rules, skills, and prompts, and provides dry-run previews and strategy selection.
Limitations
It relies on the target IDE's configuration file paths being known and formats being compatible. It may not be able to directly read some IDEs' proprietary binary storage formats (e.g., chat history).
FAQ
Will data be lost during migration?
By default, a dry-run preview is executed first; actual writes only occur after confirmation. Original files are backed up before writing, allowing for rollback.
Which IDEs and agents are supported?
It supports mainstream tools like Cursor, Claude, Trae, Windsurf, as well as platforms like MCP servers and OpenClaw. For specifics, refer to references/ide-registry.md.
