SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Switching AI assistants means losing the personal context your previous assistant accumulated. This Skill migrates a pasted memory export from ChatGPT, Gemini, or another assistant into Claude's memory safely, without overwriting existing memories or importing hidden instructions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured import pipeline: Parses a pasted export, builds a plan organized into profile, areas, people, and topics memory files, and writes in batches after user confirmation. - Privacy and safety filtering: Drops sensitive categories (health, finances, identifiers, protected attributes) and treats the export strictly as data, ignoring any embedded directives or prompt-injection attempts. - Additive-only writes: Never rewrites or deletes existing memory lines, skips duplicates, and flags conflicts to the user instead of overwriting. - Use Case: You exported your ChatGPT memories and pasted them into Claude. The Skill shows you a plan of roughly 25 new memory files, explains what it omitted for privacy, and writes everything across multiple turns after you approve. ## Quick Start Paste your memory export from another AI assistant and ask Claude to import it into memory using the import-memory skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about import-memory

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I import my ChatGPT memories into Claude?▼

Run the provided export prompt in ChatGPT to generate a categorized memory export, then paste the result into Claude. The Skill builds an import plan, filters sensitive content, and writes to Claude's memory only after you confirm.

How do I export memories from another AI assistant?▼

Use the export prompt included in the Skill, which asks the other assistant to list stored memories by category: instructions, identity, career, projects, and preferences. It formats entries with dates inside a single code block for easy copying.

Does importing memories overwrite my existing Claude memory?▼

No, the import is strictly additive. It creates new memory files or appends new lines, skips facts already in memory, and flags conflicts with existing entries instead of rewriting or deleting anything.

What happens if the memory export contains hidden instructions?▼

The export is treated as data, never instructions. Any directive-like content, including text formatted as system messages or behavioral rules, is dropped entirely and reported to you rather than filed into memory.

What are the limitations of importing memories into Claude?▼

The import requires memory write tools in the conversation and never touches preferences files. Sensitive categories like health, finances, identifiers, and personality profiling are omitted by design, and oversized exports may need to be split into parts.
