claude-skills-sync

Move your entire Claude Code setup to another computer with one command.

What it syncs

• 50+ slash commands (/plan, /smart-fix, /brainstorming, etc.)
• All memory files (project context, user preferences, feedback)
• Settings (settings.json, settings.local.json)
• Keybindings
• MCP server configs (~/.mcp.json)
• Plugin marketplaces + all plugin files (347+ files)
• Session context — uses Claude to distill all your conversation history into a knowledge doc so the new machine picks up where you left off

Usage

Export (source machine)

npx claude-skills-sync

Scans ~/.claude/, distills session history with Claude, uploads everything to a GitHub Gist, and copies a one-liner to your clipboard.

Requires: Node.js + GitHub token (gh CLI, GITHUB_TOKEN, or GH_TOKEN)

Import (target machine)

npx claude-skills-sync <gist-id>

Downloads the bundle and writes everything to ~/.claude/.

Requires: Node.js only — no GitHub auth needed.

How it works

1. Reads all config from ~/.claude/
2. Parses every session JSONL file and extracts conversation text
3. Pipes transcripts to claude -p to distill into a single context document
4. Compresses everything (gzip + base64) and uploads to a public GitHub Gist
5. On import, writes files to the correct locations and remaps home directory paths automatically

Session context lands in memory/session_context.md so Claude has full knowledge of your projects, decisions, and preferences from day one.

Install globally (optional)

npm install -g claude-skills-sync
claude-skills-sync        # export
claude-skills-sync <id>   # import
