# Handoff sheet

Paste this at the start of a new conversation to pick a project back up without explaining everything again. Update it at the end of each session (a ready-made request is at the bottom). Nothing sensitive in it.

**Updated on**: ____ / ____ / ________

```
I'm picking up a project. Read this sheet, then tell me in 3 lines where we are and what the next action is. Don't start anything before I say yes.

PROJECT: [name]
GOAL: [what I want to get, and who or what it is for]
IT WORKED IF: [criterion 1]; [criterion 2]; [criterion 3]
MINIMUM VERSION: [the smallest useful version]

STEPS:
- [x] [step done] (finished when: [check passed])
- [ ] [next step] (finished when: [check])
- [ ] [step after that]

DECISIONS (with the reason):
- [date]: [decision], because [reason]

POINTS TO WATCH: [what is still uncertain, to be checked, or waiting for an answer]
NEXT ACTION: [one single, concrete thing]
```

## Updating the sheet at the end of a session

```
We're stopping here. Update the handoff sheet with what we did today: steps ticked off, new decisions with their reason, points to watch, next action. Keep exactly the same form, and don't add anything we haven't decided.
```

Read the new version, correct it, then keep it in place of the old one.
