02Step-by-Step Migration Walkthrough
Upload your OpenAI Custom GPT workspace files
Drag and drop your project repository or specific rule files (custom_gpt_instructions.txt, openai_assistant_v2.json) into the PromptShift workspace. All reading and parsing is performed strictly in your browser RAM without disk persistence.
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.
Export Ready-to-Run Anthropic Claude Package
Click download to receive your fully structured ZIP archive containing CLAUDE.md, claude_project_instructions.xml, .claude/mcp.json. Drop these files directly into your workspace to instantly begin using your AI assistant.
