  "account": "Switching between AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini can be frustrating as each platform maintains its own context. SkillSync aims to solve this issue by transferring conversations between these platforms while preserving context. After moving a 20-message ChatGPT conversation to Claude, the tool successfully maintained formatting, tone, and instructions, making the transition seamless. However, attachments such as PDFs and images referenced in the conversation were not transferred, which is a significant drawback. SkillSync is a local-first tool that supports multiple AI platforms, including ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, and can handle session conversions without rebuilding context manually. Users can either browse previous sessions in their original tool or create copies for continued use on another supported agent. The tool works offline by default, ensuring that session data remains on the user's device unless explicitly synced to the SkillSync service.",
