Migrate an existing agent

migrate supports two migration modes:

Run a local structured migration for LangChain, LangGraph, ADK, Strands, or Bedrock AgentCore projects and generate an AgentKit app.
Start a remote migration job for a Dify export or another type of agent project, then download the generated VeADK project when the job finishes.

agentkit migrate [project-dir] --framework langchain|langgraph|adk|strands|agentcore --entry <file.py:object> [options]
agentkit migrate [project-dir] --framework dify|any create|list|status [job-id] [options]

migrate

A local structured migration analyzes the entry object, generates the service entry point, deployment configuration, and migration plan in the source project, and updates project dependencies. The command reports the files it creates, updates, or overwrites. Use --dry-run to inspect the plan only.

This command modifies the source project. --force overwrites existing generated files. Commit or back up existing changes and inspect the plan with --dry-run first.

migrate create

Create a remote migration job for a Dify export or another agent project. The command uploads the source directory, creates a remote sandbox, returns the job ID, and leaves the job running in the background. If an active job already has the same workspace, source directory, and migration configuration, the command reuses it.

This operation uploads the source directory to a remote sandbox and may create billable cloud resources. Remove credentials, user data, and other files that must not be uploaded. The generated result must use a dedicated sibling directory; it cannot overwrite the source directory or be placed inside it.

Flag / Argument	Description	Default
`[project-dir]`	Dify export or other agent project directory to upload (required)	—
`--framework <name>`	Remote migration type: `dify` \| `any` (required)	—
`[migrate-action]`	Remote action; use `create` to create a job (required)	—
`-n, --name <name>`	Name of the generated AgentKit app	Source project directory name
`-o, --output <dir>`	Dedicated sibling directory for downloaded results	Sibling directory named after the job ID
`--model-id <id>`	Target model ID for the generated app	—
`--model-base-url <url>`	Target model base URL for the generated app	—
`--model-api-key-env <name>`	Name of the environment variable the generated app uses for its target model API key	—
`-p, --project <name>`	AgentKit project used by the remote sandbox and generated configuration	`default`
`--codex-model <id>`	Model ID used by the remote migration sandbox	Cloud model service default
`--codex-model-provider <provider>`	Model provider used by the remote migration sandbox	Determined by the current cloud provider
`--codex-api-key-env <name>`	Name of the environment variable containing the remote migration model API key; if omitted, `AGENTKIT_MIGRATE_MODEL_API_KEY` is read	`AGENTKIT_MIGRATE_MODEL_API_KEY`

export ARK_API_KEY="<your-api-key>"

# Migrate a Dify export
agentkit migrate ./dify-export --framework dify create \
  --name support-agent \
  --output ../agentkit-support \
  --project default \
  --codex-model ep-xxxxxxxx \
  --codex-api-key-env ARK_API_KEY \
  --model-id doubao-seed-2-1-pro \
  --model-api-key-env ARK_API_KEY

# Migrate another type of agent project
agentkit migrate ./source-agent --framework any create \
  --output ../agentkit-agent \
  --codex-model ep-xxxxxxxx \

migrate list

List locally stored Dify or Any migration job metadata for the selected workspace. This action does not query other workspaces or create cloud resources.

Flag / Argument	Description	Default
`[project-dir]`	Workspace that stores the migration job metadata	Current directory
`--framework <name>`	Migration type to list: `dify` \| `any` (required)	—
`[migrate-action]`	Remote action; use `list` to list jobs (required)	—
`--json`	Output raw JSON	`false`

agentkit migrate ./dify-export --framework dify list
agentkit migrate ./source-agent --framework any list --json

migrate status

Query a remote job. After a job succeeds, partially succeeds, or fails, this command downloads the result or failure report to the output directory selected at creation time. Later invocations reuse a local terminal result.

--overwrite replaces files that have already been downloaded to the result directory. Use it only when local changes do not need to be preserved.

Flag / Argument	Description	Default
`[project-dir]`	Workspace that stores the migration job metadata	Current directory
`--framework <name>`	Job migration type: `dify` \| `any` (required)	—
`[migrate-action]`	Remote action; use `status` to query a job (required)	—
`[job-id]`	Job ID; alternatively use `--job-id` (required)	—
`--job-id <id>`	Job ID; alternatively pass it as the positional argument after `status`	—
`--overwrite`	Replace an existing local result directory	`false`
`--json`	Output raw JSON	`false`

agentkit migrate ./dify-export --framework dify status <job-id>
agentkit migrate ./source-agent --framework any status --job-id <job-id> --json
