Shared Library Groups and in-panel document editor

Shared Library Groups: create collections of reusable context files (company info, guidelines, code schemas, prompt rules) and sync them across multiple Claude Projects in one click.
Three-way atomic diff engine compares library files against target project documents before writing anything.
Create-Then-Delete safety sequence uploads the updated document version before removing the old document ID, preventing data loss during network drops.
Full-panel Markdown and text editor: click any context document to edit in place, with character count monitors against Claude prompt thresholds and Cmd+S / Ctrl+S keyboard shortcuts.
Direct From Library picker allows adding individual library files to any project without connecting the whole group.
Multi-workspace filtering: instant filter pills for Personal, Team, Enterprise, and Shared workspaces.
Persistent 0ms cached document counts with parallel background enrichment.
Heuristic feedback sheet to rate Depot on the Chrome Web Store after successful actions.

Round-trip restoration and rate limit retry

Restore projects from any Depot backup zip with full instructions and document fidelity.
Interactive pre-flight dry-run sheet for restoration, allowing project renaming before creation.
Automatic exponential backoff retry handler (withRetry) for Claude HTTP 429 rate limit responses.
Smart project variant naming to avoid name collisions during duplicate operations.

First release

Back up one claude.ai Project, or your whole account at once, to a plain zip on your own computer. Each backup holds the instructions, every text document as its own file, and a manifest you can read and search.
Download your project documents back out as plain text files with their original names, ready to open, edit, or move elsewhere.
Duplicate a project to test a different set of instructions. Depot shows a dry run of exactly what it will create before it writes anything, and never touches the original.
Runs from a side panel next to Claude, using the login already in your browser. Nothing to set up and nothing to log into.
No account, no server, no telemetry. Depot talks only to claude.ai, and Chrome blocks it from reaching anywhere else.
Honest about one limit: text is captured exactly, but claude.ai exposes only a downscaled preview of uploaded images, so image backups are saved as previews and clearly labelled.
