/instinct-export

Instinct Export Command

Exports instincts to a shareable format. Perfect for:

• Sharing with teammates
• Transferring to a new machine
• Contributing to project conventions

Usage

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

What to Do

1. Read instincts from ~/.claude/homunculus/instincts/personal/
2. Filter based on flags
3. Strip sensitive information:
   • Remove session IDs
   • Remove file paths (keep only patterns)
   • Remove timestamps older than "last week"
4. Generate export file
