Move your setup between AI tools and models
“I hit usage limits, or a cheaper or better model came out.”
Keep your instructions, skills and notes in plain files so any agent can pick them up. Then you can hand off mid-task or pick a cheaper model per job.
Fix it yourself in 3 steps
- Gather your instructions, custom commands and project notes into plain text files in the repo.
- Ask the new tool to read them and list anything it can't support.
- Test on one small task before switching for real, and compare cost and quality.
Copy this prompt
I'm moving from [old tool] to [new tool]. Here are my instruction files and custom commands: [files]. Map each one to the new tool's equivalent, and list anything that won't carry over. Convert them into new files but don't delete the originals. Stop after showing me the mapping.
Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
