## Where Rush sits

Moving from Factory to Rush changes the agent from Droid to Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode, so the instructions go into the repository, where those harnesses read them.

## The steps

1. Push the branches Droids worked on; pushed remotes stay. A bring-your-own machine keeps its own disk.
2. Write what Droids were told into AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md in the repository.
3. Move MCP servers to Rush connections, and Slack delegations to Rush automations or API calls.
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

- Factory Droids 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- There is no self-hosted or customer-VPC deployment, and we do not publish a compliance report today.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 Factory Droids when I leave?

Pushed git remotes stay. BYOM keeps your own disk. Official full-account export was not documented 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.
