Importing Context

If you have been using another AI coding tool, your project may already have context files. Akmon can synthesize them into AKMON.md.

Supported tools

ToolContext files
Claude CodeCLAUDE.md, .claude/CLAUDE.md
Codex / OpenCodeAGENTS.md
Cursor.cursorrules, .cursor/rules/*.mdc
Gemini CLIGEMINI.md
Kiro.kiro/steering/*.md, .kiro/specs/
Windsurf.windsurfrules, .windsurf/rules/
GitHub Copilot.github/copilot-instructions.md
Cline / RooCode.clinerules, .roo/rules/
Aider.aider.conf.yml
GenericAGENTS.md, llms.txt

Basic usage

cd your-project
akmon import

Akmon scans context files and uses your configured model to build AKMON.md.

Preview without writing

akmon import --dry-run

Import from a specific tool only

akmon import --from claude-code
akmon import --from cursor
akmon import --from kiro

Overwrite existing AKMON.md

akmon import --force

In the TUI

When no AKMON.md exists, the welcome screen may suggest /import. Run it to perform the same synthesis from inside akmon chat.
