AI editor

Move from Cursor

Cursor projects are ordinary files, so the source move is usually simple; the main transition is editor, runtime and AI configuration.

Typical migration: Easy · Best method: Local folder · Git · ZIP

Before You Move

  • Ensure the local folder or Git repository is current.
  • Record any project-specific editor tasks/settings you actually depend on.
  • Decide whether you want Ollama local models or BYOK cloud AI in Interactive Shell.

Migration Steps

  1. 1. Open project — Link the same local folder on a supported browser, clone Git, or import ZIP.
  2. 2. Runtime — Open the Interactive Terminal and install project dependencies if cloud execution is useful.
  3. 3. AI — Configure Ollama or BYOK providers as desired.
  4. 4. Verify — Run, build, test and preview the project.

Verify

  • Files open correctly.
  • Language mode is correct.
  • Dependencies install in the selected runtime.
  • Build/test commands succeed.
  • AI provider settings are intentionally configured.

Common Issues

  • Extensions — Cursor/VS Code extensions do not automatically migrate. Use built-in capabilities or project dependencies where appropriate.
  • Editor rules — Project instruction files may remain source files, but automatic behavioral compatibility is not promised.
