Requires Windows with PowerShell 5.1+ and an existing configured Reasonix installation.
Reasonix is an AI coding assistant desktop app. Once you spend time setting it up, teaching it your preferences, building conversation history, and connecting tools, the configuration is only useful on the machine where you set it up. Move to a new computer, or even plug in a USB drive with the whole Reasonix folder copied over, and everything appears blank. The data is technically there, but Reasonix cannot find it because several internal file paths point to the old machine. PortaKit is a small collection of scripts that fixes this problem. The main piece is a Windows batch file. Instead of double-clicking the Reasonix application directly, you double-click the PortaKit launcher instead. Before Reasonix opens, the launcher detects where it is currently running from, recalculates the file path hashes that Reasonix uses to locate your project memories, patches the configuration file to replace any old drive letters or folder names with the current ones, and repairs the stored conversation history files so they all point to the right place. Then it opens Reasonix normally. The whole process happens in the background and takes a few seconds on the first run. After one launch through PortaKit, the folder becomes truly portable. You can copy it to a USB drive, plug that drive into any Windows computer, double-click the launcher, and your memories, conversation history, installed skills, and tool connections all come with you. You can also keep the folder in a cloud sync service like OneDrive or a similar tool. When the folder syncs to a new machine, the launcher merges any data that already exists on that machine with what arrived from the sync, keeping newer entries and not overwriting either side. The scripts themselves are PowerShell and Node.js. A bundled copy of the Node.js runtime is included so the session-repair step works even on machines where Node is not installed. The project requires Windows with PowerShell 5.1 or later and an existing Reasonix installation that has already been configured with an API key.
