FAQ
Will I lose my chats?
No. Claude and Codex chats come over with their full history, and new messages continue the same agent session.
Does the import change anything in Conductor?
It reads Conductor's data file read-only. Then it moves each worktree with git worktree move, which renames the folder. Nothing is copied or deleted.
Do I need new subscriptions?
No. NekoTrail runs each agent's own CLI on your own login. It never reads, stores or forwards that login.
What about Conductor Cloud?
NekoTrail can't read it. In Conductor, right-click each Cloud workspace and choose Transfer to local, then import. Conductor says Cloud data deletion begins 20 Nov 2026.
Is NekoTrail affiliated with Conductor?
No. It is an independent open-source project. Conductor is named here only to compare and to explain the import.
