How to
Bring your Claude Code setup over
Use the skills, MCP servers and memory you already have in Claude Code.
Most of a Claude Code setup works in Jinion as it is. Memory is the one thing to bring in by hand.
Your login
Jinion uses the Claude login already on your machine, as its default account. If you're signed in to Claude Code,
there is nothing to do. To add a second login, see Use a work and a personal account.
Skills and plugins
These come in on their own:
- your skills in
~/.claude/skills, and the project's in.claude/skills; - the plugins you turned on in Claude Code, with their skills, commands, agents and MCP servers. Their hooks stay off.
Type $ to see them. A skill you used to run as /review is now $review; typing /review out of habit puts
$review in the prompt. See Use skills and MCP servers.
MCP servers
Servers in ~/.claude.json and your claude.ai connectors connect as they do in Claude Code. Servers in a project's
.mcp.json stay off until you turn them on:
/mcpMove to the server, press space to turn it on and enter to save.
Project instructions
A CLAUDE.md at the root of the project is read as it is, next to an AGENTS.md if there is one. See
Write project instructions.
Memory
Bring in what Claude Code collected:
/memory importJinion says Imported 12 notes from Claude Code. The agent sees them from the next conversation on. This brings in
Claude Code's memory notes for this project, your ~/.claude/rules and your ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. Run it in each
project whose notes you want. Running it again adds nothing twice. See Use memory.
What stays behind
- Claude Code's settings, with its permission rules and hooks. Jinion asks again, and "don't ask again" saves the rule in Jinion. See Choose a permission mode.
- Claude Code's conversations.
/resumelists the conversations you had in Jinion.
