Resume / Handoff

When an AI chat session runs out of context, or you want to continue this project in a fresh conversation, use the handoff.txt file to instantly restore full project context — no copy-pasting required.

The resume prompt

Copy this prompt and paste it at the start of a new Claude (or any AI) conversation:

I'm continuing development of Oxide UI, a dark-mode-only Tailwind CSS component library 
for Nuxt. Please fetch the full project context from this URL and use it as your working 
memory for this session:

https://oxide-ui.dev/handoff.txt

Once you've read it, confirm the current state of the project and ask me what to work on next.

Why this works: Claude and most AI tools with web access can fetch a plain-text URL directly. The handoff.txt file contains the complete project state, all design decisions, file structure, component inventory, backlog, and session history.

What's in handoff.txt

The handoff.txt file contains:

• Project identity and all design tokens
• Every design decision made and why
• Full file structure with descriptions
• Every component built with its variants
• Prioritised backlog of all planned components
• Step-by-step guide to adding new components
• How each plugin/tool works
• Open questions for future decisions
• Session history log

Keeping the handoff up to date

After any significant session, update public/handoff.txt with:

1. New components added (name, variants built)
2. Decisions made (any new design or tech choices)
3. A new entry at the bottom of the Session History section

The file lives at public/handoff.txt in the project repo. Because it's in the public/ directory, it is automatically deployed to https://oxide-ui.dev/handoff.txt on every Cloudflare Pages deploy.

Local fallback

If the site isn't deployed yet, you can also paste the contents of HANDOFF.md (in the project root) directly into the chat. The URL approach is preferred once the site is live.
