What is Agent Migrate?
Agent Migrate is a sophisticated workflow designed for developers who need to move their AI agents between local machines, remote servers, or cloud environments. As one of the most practical Openclaw Skills, it ensures that an agent's identity (IDENTITY.md), personality (SOUL.md), and long-term memory (MEMORY.md) remain intact during transitions.
By treating the agent state as a portable package of configuration and experience, this skill eliminates the need for manual reconfiguration. Whether you are scaling from a development environment to production or setting up disaster recovery backups, utilizing Openclaw Skills like this one provides a reliable path for agent persistence and cross-platform compatibility.
Agent Migrate Use Cases
- Moving an agent from a local development machine to a remote production server.
- Cloning existing agent configurations to multiple environments for testing.
- Creating immutable backups of complete agent states for disaster recovery.
- Synchronizing workspace changes between development and production branches.
- Upgrading the OpenClaw core while maintaining a full rollback capability.
How Agent Migrate Works
- Run the export script on the source machine to create a compressed package containing the manifest, workspace, and configuration.
- Transfer the generated export package to the target environment via secure protocols like SSH or version control systems like GitHub.
- Execute the import script or self-contained restore script on the target machine to unpack and integrate the agent.
- Verify agent identity and functionality on the new platform to complete the migration.
Agent Migrate Setup
To start using these Openclaw Skills for migration, ensure your scripts directory is accessible. Use the following commands for basic operations:
# Export the current agent state
./scripts/export-agent.sh my-agent-backup --full
# Transfer the package to a new server
scp -r /tmp/agent-export-my-agent-backup user@remote-host:/tmp/
# Restore on the new server
cd /tmp/agent-export-my-agent-backup && ./restore.sh
