Environment

Setup Export

Bundle your entire dev env

npx promptreports-cli setup export

Exports env vars (AES-256 encrypted), skills, CLAUDE.md, LESSONS.md, MCP config, VS Code extensions into a single portable bundle.

setup export creates a single JSON bundle that captures your entire vibe coding environment: encrypted .env.local vars, .claude/skills/, CLAUDE.md, LESSONS.md, .claude/settings.local.json, .mcp.json, .vscode/extensions.json, and .vscode/settings.json. The bundle moves cleanly between laptops, onboards a new teammate in one command, or backs up your setup before a major OS upgrade. Env vars are encrypted with AES-256-CBC using a passphrase you provide — you control the key, the bundle is opaque without it.

Prerequisites

Whatever files you want to export (all optional — missing files are skipped)

Free vs Pro usage

Free tier

Backup your setup before a major OS upgrade
Share a clean starter setup with a new team member
Mirror your dev env between laptop and desktop

Pro tier

Upgrade

Team-wide setup templates (one canonical bundle everyone imports)
Auto-sync setup changes across machines
Audit log: who exported what, when
Role-based setup (frontend dev, backend dev, SRE each get a different bundle)

Pro tips

Use a password manager for the encryption passphrase — losing it = losing your env
Check the bundle into a private repo as an onboarding artifact
Run before a major refactor so you can revert your env if anything breaks
