## Claude provider
The bundled Claude provider detects Claude Code state at `~/.claude` by default. Use `--from <path>` to import a specific Claude Code home or project root.
<Tip>
For a user-facing walkthrough, see [Migrating from Claude](/install/migrating-claude).
</Tip>
### What gets imported
- Project `CLAUDE.md` and `.claude/CLAUDE.md` into the OpenClaw agent workspace.
- User `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` appended to workspace `USER.md`.
- MCP server definitions from project `.mcp.json`, Claude Code `~/.claude.json`, and Claude Desktop `claude_desktop_config.json`.
- Claude skill directories that include `SKILL.md`.
- Claude command Markdown files converted into OpenClaw skills with manual invocation only.
### Archive and manual-review state
Claude hooks, permissions, environment defaults, local memory, path-scoped rules, subagents, caches, plans, and project history are preserved in the migration report or reported as manual-review items. OpenClaw does not execute hooks, copy broad allowlists, or import OAuth/Desktop credential state automatically.
## Hermes provider
The bundled Hermes provider detects state at `~/.hermes` by default. Use `--from <path>` when Hermes lives elsewhere.

summary: "Move Claude Code and Claude Desktop local state into OpenClaw with a previewed import"
read_when:
- You are coming from Claude Code or Claude Desktop and want to keep instructions, MCP servers, and skills
- You need to understand what OpenClaw imports automatically and what stays archive-only
title: "Migrating from Claude"
---
OpenClaw imports local Claude state through the bundled Claude migration provider. The provider previews every item before changing state, redacts secrets in plans and reports, and creates a verified backup before apply.
<Note>
Onboarding imports require a fresh OpenClaw setup. If you already have local OpenClaw state, reset config, credentials, sessions, and the workspace first, or use `openclaw migrate` directly with `--overwrite` after reviewing the plan.
</Note>
## Two ways to import
<Tabs>
<Tab title="Onboarding wizard">
The wizard can offer Claude when it detects local Claude state.
```bash
openclaw onboard --flow import
```
Or point at a specific source:
```bash
openclaw onboard --import-from claude --import-source ~/.claude
```
</Tab>
<Tab title="CLI">
Use `openclaw migrate` for scripted or repeatable runs. See [`openclaw migrate`](/cli/migrate) for the full reference.
```bash
openclaw migrate claude --dry-run
openclaw migrate apply claude --yes
```
Add `--from <path>` to import a specific Claude Code home or project root.
</Tab>
</Tabs>
## What gets imported
<AccordionGroup>
<Accordion title="Instructions and memory">
- Project `CLAUDE.md` and `.claude/CLAUDE.md` content is copied or appended into the OpenClaw agent workspace `AGENTS.md`.
- User `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` content is appended into workspace `USER.md`.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="MCP servers">
MCP server definitions are imported from project `.mcp.json`, Claude Code `~/.claude.json`, and Claude Desktop `claude_desktop_config.json` when present.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Skills and commands">
- Claude skills with a `SKILL.md` file are copied into the OpenClaw workspace skills directory.
- Claude command Markdown files under `.claude/commands/` or `~/.claude/commands/` are converted into OpenClaw skills with `disable-model-invocation: true`.
</Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
## What stays archive-only
The provider copies these into the migration report for manual review, but does **not** load them into live OpenClaw config:
- Claude hooks
- Claude permissions and broad tool allowlists
- Claude environment defaults
- `CLAUDE.local.md`
- `.claude/rules/`
- Claude subagents under `.claude/agents/` or `~/.claude/agents/`
- Claude Code caches, plans, and project history directories
- Claude Desktop extensions and OS-stored credentials
OpenClaw refuses to execute hooks, trust permission allowlists, or decode opaque OAuth and Desktop credential state automatically.
## Recommended flow
<Steps>
<Step title="Preview the plan">
```bash
openclaw migrate claude --dry-run
```
The plan lists everything that will change, including conflicts, skipped items, and sensitive values redacted from nested MCP `env` or `headers` fields.
</Step>
<Step title="Apply with backup">
```bash
openclaw migrate apply claude --yes
```
OpenClaw creates and verifies a backup before applying.
</Step>
<Step title="Run doctor">
```bash
openclaw doctor
```
[Doctor](/gateway/doctor) checks for config or state issues after the import.
</Step>
</Steps>
## Source selection
Without `--from`, OpenClaw inspects the default Claude Code home at `~/.claude`, the sampled Claude Code `~/.claude.json` state file, and the Claude Desktop MCP config on macOS.
When `--from` points at a project root, OpenClaw imports only that project's Claude files such as `CLAUDE.md`, `.claude/settings.json`, `.claude/commands/`, `.claude/skills/`, and `.mcp.json`. It does not read your global Claude home during a project-root import.
## Conflict handling
Apply refuses to continue when the plan reports conflicts.
<Warning>
Rerun with `--overwrite` only when replacing the existing target is intentional. Providers may still write item-level backups for overwritten files in the migration report directory.
