Directional migration guides: each one maps your config files between tools, walks a 4-step pilot checklist, prices the seat delta for a 10-dev team and lists what you gain and give up.
CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, .windsurfrules, AGENTS.md, Copilot instructions and .clinerules - translated client-side, nothing leaves your browser.
Model seat + token costs for your whole team before reallocating licenses.
