 "title": "Import a Cursor transcript as a paused handoff",
 "page_title": "How to import a Cursor transcript as a paused handoff with Threadport",
 "summary": "Turn a copied Cursor chat transcript into a paused Capsule that you review before acting.",
 "who": "A Cursor user who wants to continue a chat in another agent and has only the transcript text available.",
 "problem": "A Cursor chat transcript has no complete tool results, so it is easy to assume that edits and tests happened when the record does not show them.",
 "outcome": "You get a Capsule marked paused with visible instructions and unverified assistant context, plus separate current Git state, so you can check the original export before acting.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npm ci` in the Threadport checkout.",
  "Run `npm run build`.",
  "In Cursor, use Chat actions, Copy, Copy Transcript, then save the text as UTF-8 plain text with a .txt or .md extension.",
  "Run `node dist/src/cli.js extract --from cursor --session /path/to/cursor-transcript.txt --project /path/to/project --out /path/outside/project/capsule.json`.",
  "Read the stderr warning and the Capsule constraints, then check the original export before continuing the work."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the Frankie-Xu/threadport repo built with Node 24, extract a transcript-only Capsule from <cursor-transcript-file> with --from cursor and write it to <output-path> outside the project. Report the status field and confirm that files, commands, tests, failures, completed, and decisions are empty.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README limits this path to a narrowly tested Cursor 3.20.10 transcript on macOS, so other Cursor versions and surfaces are not covered.",

 "tags": [
  "Software and DevOps"
 ],
 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node.js 24 or newer (the README requires Node >=24.0.0 for this checkout)",
  "A local clone of Frankie-Xu/threadport with npm available",
  "Local Claude or Codex session logs, or a Cursor Copy Transcript export saved as UTF-8 text",
  "The target Agent (Claude or Codex) installed locally if you want to launch a continuation"
