mem0-import-tools

Import memories from competing AI tool configuration files into mem0. Supports Cursor (.cursorrules), GitHub Copilot (.github/copilot-instructions.md), Cline (memory-bank/), and Continue (.continue/rules.md). TRIGGER: user runs /mem0:import-tools, or asks "import from cursor", "import cursorrules", "import from cline", "import from copilot", "import from continue", "migrate from cursor", "migrate memories".

Mem0 Import from Competing Tools

Import configuration and memory files from other AI coding tools into mem0.

Supported Tools

Tool	Default file/directory
Cursor	.cursorrules
GitHub Copilot	.github/copilot-instructions.md
Cline	memory-bank/ (directory of .md files)
Continue	.continue/rules.md

Execution

Step 1: Detect which tool files exist

Check for the presence of each tool's file/directory in the current working directory:

# Check each location
test -f .cursorrules && echo "cursor: .cursorrules"
test -f .github/copilot-instructions.md && echo "copilot: .github/copilot-instructions.md"
test -d memory-bank/ && echo "cline: memory-bank/"
test -f .continue/rules.md && echo "continue: .continue/rules.md"

Step 2: Report findings and ask user

List all found files to the user. For example:

Found the following tool configuration files:
  [1] Cursor rules: .cursorrules
  [2] Cline memory bank: memory-bank/

Which would you like to import? (enter numbers, comma-separated, or "all"):

If no files are found, print:

No competing tool configuration files found in the current directory.
Checked: .cursorrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md, memory-bank/, .continue/rules.md

and stop.

Step 3: Run the import script for each selected tool

Determine the plugin root. Use the appropriate variable for the current platform:

• Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}
• Codex: ${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT}
• Cursor: ${CURSOR_PLUGIN_ROOT}

For each tool the user selected, run the corresponding sub-command:

Cursor (.cursorrules):

python3 "<PLUGIN_ROOT>/scripts/import_competing_tools.py" cursorrules --path .cursorrules

GitHub Copilot:

python3 "<PLUGIN_ROOT>/scripts/import_competing_tools.py" copilot --path .github/copilot-instructions.md

Cline:

python3 "<PLUGIN_ROOT>/scripts/import_competing_tools.py" cline --path memory-bank/

Continue:

python3 "<PLUGIN_ROOT>/scripts/import_competing_tools.py" continue --path .continue/rules.md

Step 4: Report results

After each script runs, echo its output to the user. Then print a combined summary:

Import complete.
  Cursor:  <N> memories
  Copilot: <N> memories
  Total:   <N> memories imported into project <project_id>

Adjust the summary to reflect only the tools that were actually imported.

Notes

• Memories are imported with infer=False — no AI inference is applied, content is stored as-is.
• Each section or file becomes a separate memory tagged with metadata.source=<tool>-import and metadata.type=project_profile.
• Sections shorter than 50 characters are automatically skipped (too short to be useful).
• Content longer than 10,000 characters is automatically truncated per chunk.
• You can re-run this skill safely — duplicate content will be caught by mem0's deduplication.
