/import — Migrate Config from Other AI Coding Agents / Claude Code v2.1.213

What

A new /import slash command (and claude import CLI subcommand) scans for OpenAI Codex and Google Gemini CLI configuration and imports it into Claude Code — MCP servers, slash commands, subagents, skills, and instructions.

Usage

# From the terminal (interactive picker)
claude import                 # auto-detect Codex or Gemini
claude import codex           # Codex only
claude import gemini          # Gemini only
claude import --dry-run       # preview without writing
claude import --yes           # apply all user-level items without prompting

# From inside a Claude Code session
/import                       # scan and list what's importable
/import --yes                 # apply everything without the picker
/import --dry-run             # show what would be imported

Details

Detects Codex config at ~/.codex/config.toml and .codex/ (project-level)
Detects Gemini config at ~/.gemini/settings.json and .gemini/ (project-level)
Imports MCP servers, slash commands (skills), subagents, and system instructions
Project-level config from .codex/ or .gemini/ directories is listed but NOT auto-imported — anyone with repo write access could author those, so they must be reviewed manually
Shell-exec markers (!{…} in Gemini, !cmd`` in Claude Code) are flagged and require manual porting
Items with no automatic mapping generate a helper skill at skills/import-to-claude-code/ for follow-up review
Gemini extensions, project-level settings, and subdirectory-organized commands are listed as needing manual review
The --yes flag on claude -p (headless/scripted) applies the same import that the interactive picker would; on plain claude -p sessions without a terminal, it instructs users to run claude import from an interactive terminal instead
Codex permission mode default maps to defaultMode: auto in Claude Code; tool restrictions differ and are dropped with a warning

Evidence

CLI entry point (search for "claude import [codex|gemini] [--dry-run] [--yes]"), Gemini config support (search for ".gemini/settings.json"), Codex support (search for ".codex/config.toml")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.
