hermes claw migrate is the older spelling of hermes import-agent openclaw, the 📝Hermes Agent command that imports an 📝OpenClaw setup's persona, memory, skills and configuration into Hermes.
The command first shipped in Hermes core with v0.3.0 (v2026.3.17, March 17, 2026), whose release notes list "hermes claw migrate command + migration docs". It now comes from the official agent-importers plugin: the v0.23.0 release of November 5, 2026 moved the OpenClaw migration there, and the same plugin imports Claude Code, Codex CLI and Cursor setups. Once the plugin is installed, the older spelling still works and runs the same import; without it, hermes claw prints the install command.
The import reads ~/.openclaw/ by default, detects legacy ~/.clawdbot/ and ~/.moltbot/ directories, and always shows a preview before asking to confirm. It carries over SOUL.md, long-term and daily memory into ~/.hermes/memories/, skills from four OpenClaw locations into ~/.hermes/skills/openclaw-imports/, model and provider settings, MCP servers, TTS and messaging platform settings. Items with no Hermes equivalent, such as cron jobs and plugins, are archived for manual review.
API keys come over only with --migrate-secrets, which is required even under --preset full; neither the full nor the user-data preset imports secrets on its own. Other options include --dry-run for a preview only, --workspace-target to place AGENTS.md, and --skill-conflict with skip, overwrite or rename. A pre-migration zip snapshot of ~/.hermes/ is written by default unless --no-backup is passed. Afterwards, hermes claw cleanup renames leftover OpenClaw directories to *.pre-migration.
