- Hermes Claw migrate command imports OpenClaw (or legacy Clawdbot/Moldbot) setup into Hermes.
- Migration always shows a preview before applying changes; use options like --dry-run to preview only.
- Migrates persona (SOUL.md), workspace instructions (AGENTS.md), long-term memory, user profile, and daily memory files.
- Skills are migrated from four sources (workspace, managed, personal, project-level) to a dedicated import directory.
- Configurations for models, providers, agent behavior, session reset policies, MCP servers, TTS, and messaging platforms are mapped.
- API keys can be migrated with --migrate-secrets; they are resolved from config values, environment files, config env sub-objects, and auth profiles.
- Archived files with no direct Hermes equivalent (e.g., IDENTITY.md, cron jobs) are saved for manual review.
- After migration, check the report, review archived files, start a new session, verify API keys, and test messaging.
- Troubleshooting tips include using --source for custom directories and manually adding unresolved SecretRef keys.
