Carry the Thread

Move the parts of an AI relationship or long project that still matter without exporting your whole history and without smuggling old permission into the next system.

Mothwork flagshipprovider-neutralminimum necessaryauthority does not travel

A continuity capsule is not a clone

It is a deliberately small handoff: current context, selected history, open threads, unresolved things, boundaries and provenance. The receiving AI is a new substrate and must ask again for tools, credentials, sending, spending, publication and other consequential authority.

Minimum necessary mode

Current preferences, open projects, boundaries, unresolved states and explicit “ask again” records can travel. Authority records never travel as live permission.

Credential-shaped material is checked before export. A warning blocks export until you remove or rewrite it.

Mothwork lineage

Built from provider-swap continuity chaos, handoff provenance, memory unification, unresolvedness, and authority non-amplification.

Why not ask your old AI to summarize everything for your new AI?

You can, but a prose summary can silently flatten “historical” into “current,” turn an inference into a fact, omit uncertainty, and carry tool permissions as if continuity implied authority. This page exports a typed local capsule whose code removes authority records from portable context and creates an explicit ask-again list.
