Export and handoff

Inspect the generated project, download a portable bundle, and validate it in a clean development environment.

Export is the point where a generated preview becomes a project another developer can own. Treat it as a verification step, not only a download action.

Before export

  • Complete the primary interaction in the live preview.
  • Review generated-file diagnostics and quality information.
  • Confirm that the selected checkpoint is the version you intend to hand off.
  • Inspect the file tree for expected source, configuration, and support files.
  • Remove placeholder copy or fictional data that should not ship.

What the bundle is for

Squid exports are designed to include the generated source plus the support files and project information needed to continue in a normal development workflow. The exact contents can vary with the generated project, so inspect the exported README and manifest instead of assuming every project has the same dependencies.

Validate in a clean directory

  1. Extract the bundle outside the Squid repository.
  2. Read the included run instructions.
  3. Install with the package manager named by the project.
  4. Start the local app and test the primary path.
  5. Run the included build, lint, or verification commands when present.
  6. Review environment variables before connecting external services.
# Example only — use the commands included with your export.
pnpm install
pnpm dev

Handoff notes

Give the next developer:

  • The original product brief and important follow-up prompts
  • The accepted checkpoint and any known limitations
  • The primary user path and expected states
  • Required environment variables without secret values
  • The quality or verification issues that remain
  • Screenshots of the accepted desktop and mobile result

That context is often as valuable as the source itself.
