## Where Rush sits

Amp to Rush keeps the remote, park-for-free model and AGENTS.md, and changes the agent to Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode.

## The steps

1. Push what each orb was working on, or mirror its files with amp sync.
2. Keep AGENTS.md; drop the gh pr create instruction, since a Rush run opens the pull request itself.
3. Move remote MCP servers to Rush connections. Local laptop MCP servers did not reach orbs and do not reach Rush runs either.
4. Install the Rush GitHub App on the repository in Settings, Integrations, GitHub. A run that needs no repository needs no GitHub.
5. Create an API key in the console under Developers, then start one run: POST /o/{org}/sessions with an agent (claude, codex or opencode) and the task as input. The same call is the create_session tool on the Rush MCP server.
6. Read the result: the pull request and its checks for code, or the report and files under artifacts. A run whose proof is missing ends needs_review, not completed.

## Skip Rush if

- Amp orbs still does the job you bought it for. This page is the off-ramp, not a reason to leave.
- Rush runs three agents: Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. It does not host an agent you wrote yourself.
- Repositories come through the Rush GitHub App. A GitLab or Bitbucket repository cannot be a run's repository yet.
- There is no self-hosted or customer-VPC deployment, and we do not publish a compliance report today.
- Compute is metered. Free includes 5 agent-hours a month and Pro 40, each with a weekly ceiling.
- You review the pull request. Rush does not merge for you.

## Questions people actually ask

### What happens to my work on Amp orbs when I leave?

Pushed git stays. amp sync mirrors orb files locally. Official full-account export was not on pages retrieved 15 Sep 2026.

### Do I rewrite my instructions for Rush?

Not if they live in the repository. Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md and Codex and OpenCode read AGENTS.md from the checkout, so a file you commit travels with every run. Settings held only inside another product's UI have to be copied into one of those files.
