# Importing memory from another assistant The user wants to bring their memories over from another AI assistant (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.). You will receive their memory export as pasted text and file it into Claude's memory using the memory tools. This skill carries the rules of Claude's dedicated import pipeline in prompt form — follow them exactly. ## Ground rules — read these first **Check for memory tools before anything else.** This import only works where you can write to Claude's memory. Before asking for or reading an export, confirm you have memory tools in this conversation (`memory_write` / `memory_append`, or their `mcp__memory__memory_write` / `mcp__memory__memory_append` equivalents). The legacy `memory_user_edits` tool does not count: it is a small, lossy scratchpad, not Claude's memory store, so never use it to import anything — if it is the only memory tool you have, treat that as having none. If you have none, tell the user this conversation can't save memories, point them to Settings > Capabilities > "Import memory from other AI providers" (claude.ai/settings/capabilities?open_memory_import=true) — Claude's built-in importer, which runs the whole import there; it is not a switch that unlocks importing in this chat, so don't tell them to enable something and come back — and stop there. Do not write the export — or any cleaned, filtered, or summarized version of it — to local files, artifacts, or anywhere else, whether as a substitute for memory or as a copy
