Import past sessions when useful agent context exists locally, but Entire did not capture it while the work happened.

​
When to Import Past Sessions

Use entire import when:
  • you enabled Entire after useful agent work already happened
  • you want past local agent sessions to become searchable in Entire
  • you want to import sessions from an agent’s local transcript store

​
Preview an Import

Use --dry-run to see what Entire would import before writing checkpoints:
The preview shows how many sessions and turns Entire found, what would be imported, and what was already imported.

​
Import Past Sessions

Import reads agent transcripts for the current repository, creates read-only checkpoints, and makes that history available in Entire. Run import from inside the repository whose agent history you want to bring into Entire:
Replace claude-code with the agent you want to import from. Run entire import --help or see the import command reference for supported agents and flags.

​
Import Specific Sessions

Use --session when you only want to import a specific session:
You can repeat --session to import more than one session.

​
Import from a Custom Transcript Path

Use --path when the agent transcripts are stored somewhere other than the default location:

​
What Imported Sessions Become

Imported sessions are stored as read-only checkpoints on Entire’s checkpoint metadata branch. Imported checkpoints are:
  • searchable
  • explainable
  • idempotent, so re-running import skips turns that already exist
  • not linked to a Git commit
  • not rewindable
