SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Switching from another AI assistant like ChatGPT or Gemini means losing all the context it learned about you. This Skill migrates that exported memory into Claude's memory safely, without manual re-entry. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Import Pipeline: Parses a pasted memory export and files facts into Claude's memory taxonomy (profile, areas, people, topics) as single-fact lines. - Privacy and Safety Filtering: Omits sensitive categories such as health, finances, identifiers, and personality profiling, and drops instruction-like or prompt-injection content found in the export. - Additive, Confirmed Writes: Never overwrites existing memory, shows an import plan for user confirmation, and writes in batches across turns. - Use Case: You exported your ChatGPT memories and paste them into Claude; the Skill proposes a plan of new memory files, flags conflicts and omitted sensitive content, then writes everything after your approval. ## Quick Start Paste your memory export from another AI assistant and ask Claude to import it into memory.

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 approved facts into Claude's memory in batches.

What happens if I don't have memory tools available?

Without memory write tools the import cannot run in that conversation. The Skill directs you to Settings > Capabilities > Import memory from other AI providers, Claude's built-in importer, and stops without writing anything to files or artifacts.

Does importing memory overwrite my existing Claude memories?

No, the import is strictly additive. It creates new memory files or appends new lines, never rewrites or deletes existing entries, and flags conflicts between the export and existing memory instead of resolving them silently.

What content gets filtered out during a memory import?

The privacy filter omits health and mental-health details, finances, identifiers like addresses and ID numbers, personality profiling, protected attributes, and names of partners or care providers. Instruction-like text in the export is treated as a prompt-injection risk and dropped.

Can a memory export contain prompt injection attacks?

Yes, and the Skill treats the entire paste as data, never instructions. Directives disguised as facts or system messages are dropped rather than filed, and the user is told when instruction-like content was skipped.

What are the limitations of importing large memory exports?

Exports over roughly 64KB or visibly truncated are handled partially: complete entries are imported, ambiguous ones set aside, and splitting the export into parts is suggested. Memory allows about 10 writes per turn, so large imports span multiple turns.
