personaport 0.1.1

Local-first AI conversation/persona portability tool with safety-first browser automation.

PersonaPort

PersonaPort is a local-first Python CLI for moving conversation context and persona data between AI platforms.

Warning

THIS TOOL USES BROWSER AUTOMATION WHICH MAY VIOLATE PLATFORM TOS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. RISK OF ACCOUNT BAN. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND OFFICIAL MANUAL EXPORT WHEN POSSIBLE.

• No passwords are stored in code or logs.
• Sessions are saved as Playwright storage-state files after manual login.
• Data stays local (~/.personaport by default).
• --safe-mode and --no-scrape keep flows on official export paths.

Supported Platforms

• Source: chatgpt, claude, gemini (experimental)
• Target: chatgpt, claude, gemini (experimental)

gemini is [Experimental] in v0.1 and may require manual steps.

Install

PyPI

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install personaport
personaport install-deps

Development

git clone https://github.com/0x-Professor/PersonaPort.git
cd PersonaPort
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e .[dev]
personaport install-deps

First Run

personaport init
personaport login --platform chatgpt
personaport login --platform claude

personaport init creates local config and checks required browser dependencies.

Demo

Short terminal walkthrough:

1. personaport login --platform chatgpt
2. personaport export --from chatgpt --to claude --safe-mode --no-scrape
3. personaport migrate --input session --target claude --no-auto-inject

Quick Start

# 1) login once per platform
personaport login --platform chatgpt
personaport login --platform claude

# 2) safe export + process + migrate package output
personaport export --from chatgpt --to claude --all --safe-mode --no-scrape

# 2a) configure provider key once (stored in OS keyring)
personaport provider set-key --provider groq

# 2b) process using a selected provider/model for persona + summarization
personaport process --file ~/Downloads/chatgpt_export.zip --from chatgpt \
  --target claude --all --llm-provider groq --model groq/llama-3.1-8b-instant

# 2c) safe export and wait 10 minutes for manual ZIP download
personaport export --from chatgpt --to claude --all --safe-mode --no-scrape --wait-for-export 10

# 2d) provide the downloaded export directly (ChatGPT email ZIP)
personaport export --from chatgpt --to claude --all --safe-mode --no-scrape --export-file ~/Downloads/chatgpt_export.zip

# 2e) same flow for Claude export ZIP
personaport export --from claude --to chatgpt --all --safe-mode --no-scrape --export-file ~/Downloads/claude_export.zip

# 3) process manual export file directly
personaport process --file ~/Downloads/chatgpt_export.zip --from chatgpt

# 3b) process the whole export into one merged migration bundle
personaport process --file ~/Downloads/chatgpt_export.zip --from chatgpt --target claude --all

# 4) migrate a cached session or export file to target platform
personaport migrate --input session --target claude --no-auto-inject

# 4b) migrate whole cached history to target platform
personaport migrate --input session --source chatgpt --target claude --all --no-auto-inject

LLM Providers and Models

Supported providers:

• ollama (local, no key)
• groq
• openrouter
• openai
• anthropic
• gemini
• together

Per-run key injection:

personaport process --file export.zip --llm-provider groq --api-key "<key>"

Provider + model example:

personaport process --file export.zip --from chatgpt --target claude \
  --llm-provider groq --model groq/llama-3.1-8b-instant --api-key "<groq-key>"

Persist key in OS keyring:

personaport provider set-key --provider groq
personaport process --file export.zip --llm-provider groq --model groq/llama-3.1-8b-instant

Fallback order when model/provider fails:

1. user-selected model
2. provider default model
3. configured default model (config.yaml)
4. built-in chain (ollama/llama3.1:8b, groq/llama-3.1-8b-instant, openrouter/...:free)

Remote Fallback Safety

• Default behavior prefers local (ollama) first.
• If local fails and remote fallback is possible, PersonaPort prompts before sending data to hosted providers.
• --no-remote-llm hard-blocks remote fallback.

Persona Override (--persona)

--persona lets you manually set the system prompt used in output artifacts.

personaport process --file export.zip --from chatgpt \
  --persona "Act as my long-term coding copilot. Be concise, practical, and task-focused."

Use a single natural-language instruction string. It is injected as the persona system prompt.

Safe Mode

• --safe-mode: official export actions only.
• --no-scrape: disable scraping even in unsafe mode.
• --unsafe-mode: allows fallback scraping and risky automation (with confirmation).

Supported Export Shapes

• ChatGPT ZIP with sharded conversations-000.json ... conversations-XYZ.json (all shards aggregated).
• ChatGPT chat.html fallback export.
• Claude ZIP with conversations.json, including attachment-only messages (extracted_content supported).

ChatGPT chat.html Fallback Usage

personaport process --file ~/Downloads/chat.html --from chatgpt

chat.html can come from ChatGPT's export package; if ZIP parsing cannot recover JSON conversations, PersonaPort attempts the HTML fallback parser.

Local Data Layout

~/.personaport/
  config.yaml
  personaport.db
  sessions/
    chatgpt_state.json
    claude_state.json
    gemini_state.json
  exports/
  processed/

Session files contain auth tokens. PersonaPort attempts to set restrictive permissions on saved session files. Use personaport logout to remove them.

Migration Outputs

Each run writes:

• <prefix>.md prompt markdown for target platform
• <prefix>_knowledge.txt compact context payload
• <prefix>_full_json.json normalized full artifact

Example success output (CLI table):

Generated Output Files
- prompt_markdown: ~/.personaport/processed/migrate_to_claude.md
- knowledge_text:  ~/.personaport/processed/migrate_to_claude_knowledge.txt
- full_json:       ~/.personaport/processed/migrate_to_claude_full_json.json

Large Histories and Chunking

If knowledge text exceeds upload size thresholds, PersonaPort auto-splits into multiple files.

• Chunk limit: 4,000,000 bytes per knowledge file.
• Output names: ..._knowledge_part001.txt, ..._knowledge_part002.txt, etc.
• Auto-injection attempts upload of all generated chunk files.

Versioning and Changelog

• Run personaport --version to check installed version.
• Release notes are tracked in CHANGELOG.md.

Tests and Local Checks

pytest
make check

make check runs:

• ruff check .
• pytest

The current test suite is primarily unit-level (parsers, processor logic, DB/config helpers, transfer chunking).

Development Dependencies

pyproject.toml is the source of truth for dependencies.

requirements.txt is a compatibility snapshot for environments that prefer pip install -r; keep it aligned with pyproject.toml when updating deps.

Platform Support

• Linux: supported
• macOS: supported
• Windows: supported (PowerShell + visible Playwright sessions are tested paths)

Branching Model

• master (or main): stable production branch.
• develop: integration branch for ongoing development.
• feature branches: branch from develop, open PR into develop.
• release PRs: merge develop into master after validation.
• version tags/releases are cut from master.

Development Status

v0.1 focuses on safe-mode flows first, with risky automation behind explicit confirmation gates.
