Setup Import

New machine in 60 seconds

npx promptreports-cli setup import bundle.json

Restores a setup-export bundle on a fresh machine: env vars, skills, CLAUDE.md, MCP config, VS Code config — one command.

setup import takes a bundle produced by setup export and recreates the environment on a new machine. Decrypts env vars with the passphrase, writes .env.local (with backup if one already exists), restores .claude/skills/, CLAUDE.md, LESSONS.md, .mcp.json, and lists VS Code extensions for manual install. Use --diff first to preview every file that would change. Onboarding a new teammate becomes a single command instead of a half-day of copy-paste.

Prerequisites

A bundle file produced by setup export
The encryption passphrase if env vars are included

Flags & Options

Flag	Description	Default
--decrypt <passphrase>	Decrypt env vars (required if bundle includes encrypted env)	—
--diff	Show what would be imported without writing anything	—
--dry-run	Preview without writing files	—

Examples

Preview before import

npx promptreports-cli setup import bundle.json --diff --decrypt mySecret123

See what would change before you commit.

Import on new machine

npx promptreports-cli setup import bundle.json --decrypt mySecret123

Full restore in one command.

Import without env

npx promptreports-cli setup import bundle.json

Skip env import — bundle without encrypted secrets.
