so i built *continues*. it finds your existing AI coding sessions across five tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode), lets you pick one, and generates a structured handoff so you can continue in another tool without starting from zero.
npx continues # interactive TUI: pick a session, pick a target
continues scan # see what it finds (read-only)
continues claude # jump into your latest Claude Code session
continues resume abc123 --in gemini # hand off a specific session to Gemini
* scans the current directory first (so you see what's relevant), then shows everything
* you pick a session + a target tool
* it generates a handoff doc: recent conversation, cwd, files modified (best-effort), pending tasks
* launches the target tool with everything injected inline — no extra "go read this file" step
what it's not:
* not "true migration" — it's context injection. you get recent messages + metadata, not a full replay (pls come up with PR for full session reprod)
* rate limit detection is manual for now — you run it when you know you're blocked, no auto-detect yet
* session formats are mostly undocumented and can change anytime (this is the biggest maintenance risk)
* local file parsing only, no API calls — your data stays on your machine
curious if anyone else actually juggles multiple AI coding CLIs, or if most people just commit to one and wait out rate limits. would love to hear how you handle tool-switching + context today + feedbacks on context quality migrations and feedbacks are welcomed.
