02Step-by-Step Migration Walkthrough

1

Upload your Cursor workspace files

Drag and drop your project repository or specific rule files (.cursorrules, .cursor/rules/*.mdc, .cursor/settings.json) into the PromptShift workspace. All reading and parsing is performed strictly in your browser RAM without disk persistence.

2

Inspect Automated Secret Sanitization & AST Fidelity

PromptShift executes active secret sanitization in memory, redacting exposed API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, AWS, HuggingFace) before compiling to the Canonical AI Project Schema (CAPS) with certified 98.5% semantic parity.

3

Export Ready-to-Run Windsurf Cascade Package

Click download to receive your fully structured ZIP archive containing .windsurfrules, .windsurf/rules/*.md. Drop these files directly into your workspace to instantly begin using your AI assistant.
