Move from Windsurf

Source migration is usually straightforward; focus on the AI and runtime workflow you want afterward.

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

Before You Move

  • Ensure files/Git are current.
  • Record project-specific tasks/settings.
  • Choose the AI path you want in Interactive Shell.

Migration Steps

  1. 1. Open files — Use local folder, Git or ZIP.
  2. 2. AI — Configure Ollama or BYOK AI as desired.
  3. 3. Runtime — Install dependencies in Interactive Terminal when cloud execution is useful.
  4. 4. Verify — Run build/test/preview workflows.

Verify

  • Files open.
  • Dependencies install.
  • Build/test succeeds.
  • AI model path is configured.

Common Issues

  • IDE plugins — Plugin/editor-specific features do not automatically migrate.
  • Instructions — Keep useful project instructions as source/docs but do not assume semantic compatibility.
