Save app state so AI coding work can continue without repeats
app building can avoid repeated explanations by adding state export and import to every version. Each build should include a “Copy full state” button or action that exports the current working state as and copies it to the . If copying fails, the app should show another way to copy the state, such as a text box, modal, textarea, downloadable , or prompt.
A later build should include “Paste state” or “Load state” so a saved state JSON can be pasted back in and restored. The loader should check the JSON before using it. If fields are missing, old, or invalid, the app should recover as much as possible instead of crashing.
When saved state is sent to the AI later, that state should become the starting point for the next build.
Key points
- Add state export and import to each AI-built version of a project.
- Export the current state as and copy it to the .
- Provide a fallback copy method if access fails.
- Validate pasted JSON before restoring it, and recover gracefully from bad or old data.
- Use the saved state as the starting point for the next AI to reduce repeated context.
