name: instinct-export description: Export instincts for sharing with teammates or other projects. Strips sensitive data and outputs shareable YAML.

Instinct Export Skill

Export instincts to a shareable format for teammates, other projects, or backups.

Usage

/instinct-export                           # Export all personal instincts
/instinct-export --domain testing          # Export only testing instincts
/instinct-export --min-confidence 0.7      # Only high-confidence instincts
/instinct-export --output team-instincts.yaml

What to Do

1. Read instincts from ~/.codex/instincts/personal/
2. Filter based on flags
3. Strip sensitive information (session IDs, file paths, old timestamps)
4. Generate export file
