Overview

Rebuilding a tuned Claude Code environment by hand on a new machine (model and effort defaults, theme, a long permission allow-list, a dozen marketplace plugins, personal skills) takes a while and is easy to get wrong. Copying `~/.claude` wholesale is worse: it carries your OAuth token, chat history and hooks that point at apps the new machine doesn't have, and the plugin registry is full of absolute paths from the old home folder.

This repo is the two-script answer. **Export** builds a sanitized `payload\` on the source machine. **Import** installs it on the target, backs up anything it replaces, and rewrites the old home path everywhere it appears.

💡 Why I Built It

Rebuilding a tuned Claude Code environment by hand takes a while and is easy to get wrong, and copying the folder wholesale would carry OAuth tokens and broken absolute paths.

📈 Impact

Two scripts move a full setup: 14 plugins, about 2,300 files.
Credentials and account state are deliberately excluded, and old home-folder paths are rewritten everywhere.
