"""
chad code (aka `chode`) — a local, provider-agnostic agentic coding cli.
works with:
* anthropic (native messages api)
* openai / xai / openrouter / any openai-compatible endpoint
* local llms (ollama, lm studio, llama.cpp server, vllm, etc.)
features:
* agentic tool loop (read/edit/write files, bash, glob, grep, web fetch, todos)
* skills — skill.md folders with progressive disclosure (like claude code / openclaw)
* mcp — connect model context protocol servers (stdio + http)
* safety — permission modes, diff previews, dangerous-command guard,
secret redaction, sandboxed writes, undo checkpoints
* sessions — auto-saved, resumable (-c / /resume)
* custom slash commands, CHODE.md project memory, @file / !cmd / #note shortcuts
single file. only dependency: `requests` (pip install requests).

description: Convert skills, plugins, prompts, or agent instructions from ANY other AI agent (OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor rules, AGENTS.md, GPT instructions, raw prompt files) into proper Chad Code skills
---
# Skill Porter — rewrite anything into a Chad Code skill
Use this when the user points you at a skill/plugin/prompt from another agent and wants
it working in Chad Code. `chode migrate` copies already-compatible SKILL.md folders;
THIS skill is for everything else — different formats, different tool names, loose
prompt files, or skills that need adaptation.
## Procedure
1. **Read the source.** `list_dir` + `read_file` everything the user pointed at.
Recognize the format:
- `SKILL.md` folder (Claude Code / OpenClaw / Hermes) → mostly compatible; fix frontmatter + tool names
- `.cursorrules`, `.cursor/rules/*.mdc`, `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md` → instruction files; extract the reusable technique
- GPT / character / agent JSON exports → pull the instructions field
- plugin folders with scripts → keep the scripts, write a SKILL.md that explains when/how to run them
2. **Rewrite tool references** using this mapping (Chad's tools on the right):
| other agents say | Chad Code tool |
|---|---|
| Read / read / view / open_file / cat | read_file |
| Write / create / save_file / put | write_file |
| Edit / StrReplace / str_replace / patch / modify | edit_file |
| Bash / Shell / exec / execute_command / run / terminal / cmd | bash |
| Glob / find_files / file_search | glob |
| Grep / Search / code_search / ripgrep | grep |
| WebFetch / browse / fetch_url / http_get / browser | web_fetch |
| TodoWrite / plan / task_list / update_plan | set_todos |
| Skill / load_skill / use_skill | skill |
Remove references to capabilities Chad doesn't have (screenshots, GUI browsing,
image generation, memory APIs) — rewrite those steps to use bash/web_fetch
equivalents or note them as manual steps for the user.
3. **Write the Chad version.** Destination: `{SKILLS_DIR}/<kebab-case-name>/SKILL.md`
- Frontmatter MUST have `name:` (kebab-case, matches the folder) and a single-sentence
`description:` that says WHEN to use it — the model only sees the description until
the skill is loaded, so make it a good trigger.
- Keep the body focused: procedure steps, commands, edge cases. Cut agent-specific
fluff ("as an AI assistant...").
- Copy any helper scripts/data files into the same folder with `bash` (`cp -r`, or
`Copy-Item -Recurse` on Windows) and reference them by relative path in the body.
4. **Verify.** Run `skill` with the new name to confirm it loads, then tell the user
it's installed and suggest they check with `/skills`.
## Rules
- One skill per folder. Never overwrite an existing skill without asking.
- If the source is huge, distill — a skill is a playbook, not an archive.
- If the source contains secrets (API keys, tokens), strip them and tell the user.
