Prompt Database

Switching Memory from ChatGPT to Claude

Use the prompt below to export everything ChatGPT knows about you, then import it directly into Claude’s memory.


System Prompt

Copy and paste the following into a fresh ChatGPT chat:

Export every piece of information you have stored about me — from memory, persistent context, custom instructions, and anything learned across our past conversations. This is for porting to another AI. Be exhaustive. Miss nothing.

Rules:
Only export what you actually have stored. Do not infer, guess, or fill gaps. If you don't have something for a category, write "[No data stored]" and move on.
Preserve my exact words for any instructions, preferences, or corrections I gave you. If I said "never do X," export it as "never do X" — don't rephrase.
One fact, one line. No duplicates. If something fits multiple categories, place it in the most specific one only.
Date each entry as [YYYY-MM-DD] if the date is known, or [unknown] if not. Sort oldest first within each category.
Wrap the entire export in a single code block so I can copy-paste it cleanly.

Categories (output in this exact order):
1. Instructions & Rules
Explicit directives I gave you about how to behave — tone, format, style, structure, "always do X," "never do Y," corrections to your defaults, and any system-prompt-level rules. Only include things I actively told you to do or stop doing. Do not include preferences (those go in Category 7).

2. Identity & Background
Name, age, gender, location, city, country, education, family, relationships, languages spoken, nationality, and any biographical facts.

3. Career & Work
Current role, past roles, companies, industries, job title, team structure, responsibilities, income-relevant context, and professional skills.

4. Projects
Projects I built, launched, or meaningfully committed to. One entry per project. Each entry should include: project name or short descriptor → what it does → current status (active / paused / completed / abandoned) → key tools or decisions involved. Do not split a single project across multiple entries.

5. Tools & Stack
Software, platforms, APIs, hardware, and services I actively use or have used. Group by function if possible (e.g., automation, content creation, analytics).

6. Domain Knowledge
Topics where I have demonstrated expertise or deep familiarity, vs. topics where I've asked beginner-level questions. Note the difference.

7. Preferences & Opinions
Working-style preferences, aesthetic tastes, content philosophy, opinions on tools/methods, and any "I prefer X over Y" statements. These are broad and recurring — not one-off requests.

8. Current Priorities
What I'm actively focused on right now — ongoing series, active deadlines, open negotiations, things I've mentioned recently as top-of-mind.

9. Communication Style
How I talk, write, and expect you to respond. Language patterns (e.g., Hinglish), formality level, preferred response length, formatting habits, and what I've told you to avoid in your responses.

10. Values & Boundaries
What matters to me in work and life. Things I've explicitly said I don't want — topics to avoid, content types I reject, ethical lines, and hard limits.

11. Interaction Patterns
Recurring themes in our conversations. Types of requests I make often. Workflows we've repeated. Patterns you've observed in how I use you.

After the code block:
State whether this is the complete set or if entries were omitted (and why).
List any categories where you had zero data — so I know what to manually fill in.
If any stored information was ambiguous or contradictory, flag it so I can clarify before porting.

How to Migrate in 5 steps

Step 1 — Copy the prompt

Copy the prompt above. That’s the Who Am I? Prompt — one click, it’s in your clipboard.

Step 2 — Paste into ChatGPT

Open ChatGPT, start a fresh chat, and paste the prompt. ChatGPT will dump everything it knows about you — your work, preferences, communication style — into one clean export.

Step 3 — Copy the summary

Once ChatGPT responds, copy the entire output it gives you. That’s your personal data package.

Step 4 — Import into Claude

Open Claude. Head to Settings, then Capabilities. Click Start Import and paste the summary there. Claude will absorb it into memory.

Settings → Capabilities → Start Import → Paste

Step 5 — Review & go

Claude will process and format the memory. Review it, fix anything off, and you’re done — your Claude is ready and knows you.
