A CLI tool that converts agent configurations, skills, and memory between OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, and Claude Code bi-directionally with zero manual rewriting

Developers are fragmenting across three dominant AI agent platforms (OpenClaw at 372K stars, Hermes Agent at 110K, Claude Code native) with incompatible config formats, skill schemas, and memory systems. Each platform ships one-way migration tools that handle basic config transfer but lose skill logic, memory context, and provider settings. Teams evaluating alternatives face 2-5 days of manual rewriting per migration. This tool parses the full agent workspace from any of the three platforms, translates skills into the target format preserving logic and dependencies, migrates memory and conversation history, and validates the output against the target runtime before committing.

openclaw-to-hermes: Migrate from OpenClaw to Hermes Agent

@gh:0xNyk · 2026-04-15

Gap Assessment

CompetitiveMultiple tools exist but differentiation opportunities remain

4 tools exist (hermes claw migrate (built-in), openclaw migrate (built-in), migrate-openclaw by Kevjade, openclaw-to-hermes by 0xNyk) but gaps remain: One-way only (OpenClaw to Hermes). No skill logic translation. No Claude Code support. No validation step.; One-way only (into OpenClaw). No export from OpenClaw. No bi-directional sync. No skill logic translation..

Features4 agent-ready prompts

Tri-platform config parser that reads OpenClaw YAML, Hermes TOML, and Claude Code CLAUDE.md into a unified intermediate representation

▶

Skill translator that converts between OpenClaw skill YAML, Hermes rubric-graded skill docs, and Claude Code slash-command skills preserving trigger logic and dependencies

▶

Memory and conversation history migrator that exports agent memory from one platform's store and imports into another's format with dedup and conflict resolution

▶

Post-migration validator that boots the target agent runtime, runs a smoke test suite against converted config, and reports what works vs what broke
