Migrate

A tool for bringing notes and instructions from other places into the LifeOS system, sorting each piece into the appropriate category, and recording where it came from. LifeOS is a personal information and planning system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to import Markdown or text files, standard agent instruction files, and exports from Obsidian, Notion, or Apple Notes. It helps route material into LifeOS goals, knowledge, and operating rules.
Why use it?
Large collections of notes, rules, and exports are difficult to sort by hand, especially when they come from different apps or agent tools. It applies confidence-based classification and asks for confirmation when needed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Migrate scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Migrate — external-content intake and classification

What It Does

Migrate intakes external content, classifies each chunk against the LifeOS taxonomy, and commits it to the right destination with provenance. Sources include .md/.txt files, stdin, other LifeOS installs, agent-harness rule files (CLAUDE.md, Cursor rules, OpenAI Custom Instructions), and Obsidian/Notion/Apple Notes exports. Classification confidence drives the flow: high-confidence chunks auto-approve, medium ones ask for confirmation, low ones get a walk-through.

The Problem

When you adopt LifeOS you usually arrive with years of accumulated notes — a CLAUDE.md, a vault of markdown, journal dumps, rules from another tool — and none of it maps cleanly onto LifeOS's structure. Sorting hundreds of chunks into TELOS sections, knowledge notes, and operational rules by hand is the kind of tedious work that never gets done, so the old material just sits there unused. Migrate does the sorting: it reads the content you already have, proposes a destination for every chunk with a confidence score, and lets you approve in bulk or review the uncertain ones, attaching provenance so nothing lands in TELOS without attribution.

How It Works

Migrates content into the LifeOS structure from external sources. Unlike /interview (which asks the user questions to fill gaps), /migrate already has the content — it just needs to classify each chunk and route it to the right LifeOS destination. MigrateScan classifies into a routing table; MigrateApprove commits per the user's chosen path.

Sources supported in V1

  • Files: .md, .markdown, .txt (single file or directory recursion)
  • Stdin: piped content or pasted directly
  • Other LifeOS installs: point at their USER/TELOS/ or MEMORY/KNOWLEDGE/ directories
  • Agent-harness rule files: CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, OpenAI Custom Instructions export
  • Exports: Obsidian vaults (markdown), Notion exports (markdown), Apple Notes exports (.txt), raw journal dumps

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Migrate is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielmiessler/LifeOS (18,798 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 158 tokens to every session and 2,520 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
