Product Idea from this Signal

A CLI tool that exports your full agent setup from one framework and imports it into another, preserving config, skills, memory, and channel connections

3.8k ▲

30% of the OpenClaw community has already switched to Hermes and OpenHuman just hit 20k stars in a week. But migration is manual and lossy. Users lose their plugin configs, channel connections, cron jobs, and conversation memory when switching. Hermes offers 'hermes claw migrate' but it only covers basic config. This tool does a full bidirectional export/import across OpenClaw, Hermes, and OpenHuman, preserving everything that matters to a running agent setup.
