# How do I import bots from Claude Code, Codex and Grok Bot?

Source: https://help.locul.ai/articles/import-bots-from-claude-code-codex-and-grok

Open **Settings** > **Import bots**, choose where your bots live, review what Locul found and add them. Your originals are never changed, and bots already in Locul are skipped.

## Open the import page

1. Click **Settings** (the gear at the bottom left).
2. Under **Bots**, click **Import bots**.
3. Next to the source you want, click **Choose**.

You can run the import again whenever you add more bots. Locul never copies the same bot twice: bots you already have show as **Already here**.

## From Claude Code or Codex

Locul reads the skills and agents on this computer, for example in `~/.claude/skills`, `~/.claude/agents` and `~/.codex/skills`.

1. Choose **Turn Claude skills into bots** (Claude Code) or **Codex**.
2. Under **Found on this computer**, tick the skills and agents you want. Click **Review** to see what one contains.
3. For Claude Code, you can also look inside a project folder: type its path and click **Look**.
4. Click **Add N to Locul**.

Each bot comes with its name, instructions and tool limits. It runs on your Locul default AI. Nothing is changed in Claude Code or Codex.

**Bring it all over in one click:** instead of picking items, click **Import with <name>**. Locul reads your whole setup, which usually takes a minute or two. Check what it found, then click **Confirm and add to Locul**.

## From Grok Bot

1. Choose **Import from Grok Bot**. Locul lists your Grok Bot agents.
2. For each agent you want, click **Get full setup**. This copies a request and opens the agent in Grok Bot.
3. Paste the request into Grok Bot, then copy its reply.
4. Back in Locul, paste the reply and click **Review what it contains**.
5. Click **Confirm and add to Locul**.

If Locul shows "No bots found", open the Grok Bot app once, then try again.

## From Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT or another AI app

1. Choose **Claude Desktop or web**, **ChatGPT or a custom GPT**, or **Paste one bot's instructions**.
2. Click **Copy request** and paste it into that app.
3. Back in Locul, give the bot a name and paste the app's reply.
4. Click **Review what it contains**, then **Confirm and add to Locul**.

## Scheduled tasks stay off

Imported routines and scheduled tasks are always saved switched off. Nothing runs until you turn it on. See [Check a routine and fix a failed run](/articles/check-a-routine-and-fix-a-failed-run).

## Troubleshooting

- **"Removed N secrets"**: Locul strips API keys and passwords from imported bots. Add a fresh key by hand where the bot needs one.
- **"Importing from other AI apps is switched off by your admin."** Your organisation has turned imports off. Ask your admin.
