+# Context Recovery Prompt - ClaudeTools & Dataforth DOS Projects
+
+Use this prompt on any machine to restore full context for ongoing work. Copy and paste this entire prompt to Claude Code.
+
+---
+
+## Prompt to Use:
+
+```
+I need to restore full context for ongoing work on this machine. Please read and internalize the following files in this exact order:
+
+## 1. Organization & Structure (READ FIRST)
+- Read `D:\ClaudeTools\PROJECT_ORGANIZATION.md` - Master index of all projects and clients
+- Read `D:\ClaudeTools\.claude\FILE_PLACEMENT_GUIDE.md` - File organization rules
+- Read `D:\ClaudeTools\.claude\CLAUDE.md` - Project overview and operating principles
+
+## 2. Credentials & Infrastructure (CRITICAL)
+- Read `D:\ClaudeTools\credentials.md` - ALL infrastructure credentials (UNREDACTED)
+
+## 3. Current Projects
+
+### Dataforth DOS Update System
+- Read `D:\ClaudeTools\projects\dataforth-dos\PROJECT_INDEX.md` - Complete project reference
+- Read `D:\ClaudeTools\projects\dataforth-dos\session-logs\2026-01-20-session.md` - Latest session with all fixes
+
+**Quick Context:**
+- Project: DOS 6.22 update system for ~30 test stations
+- Status: All compatibility issues fixed, deployed to NAS, ready for testing on TS-4R
+- Infrastructure: AD2 (192.168.0.6), D2TESTNAS (192.168.0.9)
+- Latest work: Fixed 8 DOS 6.22 compatibility issues, organized 61 files into project structure
+
+### ClaudeTools API
+- Database: MariaDB @ 172.16.3.30:3306/claudetools
+- API: http://172.16.3.30:8001
+- Status: Phase 5 complete, 95+ endpoints operational
+
+### Horseshoe Management Client
+- Read `D:\ClaudeTools\clients\horseshoe-management\CLIENT_INFO.md` - Client history
+- Latest issue: Glance screen sharing version mismatch (2026-01-20)
+
+## 4. Organization System (NEW as of 2026-01-20)
+All work is now organized by project/client:
+- `projects/[project-name]/` - Project-specific work
+- `clients/[client-name]/` - Client-specific work
+- Session logs go to project/client-specific session-logs/ folders
+- `/save` command is project-aware and places logs correctly
+
+## 5. Key Operating Principles
+- Main Claude is a COORDINATOR, not executor - delegate to agents
+- NO EMOJIS ever (causes encoding issues)
+- Use ASCII markers: [OK], [ERROR], [WARNING], [SUCCESS]
+- Read `D:\ClaudeTools\directives.md` for full agent coordination rules
+
+After reading these files, summarize:
+1. Current state of Dataforth DOS project (pending testing on TS-4R)
+2. Infrastructure you have access to (AD2, D2TESTNAS, ClaudeTools database)
+3. Organization system rules for saving new files
+
+Working directory: D:\ClaudeTools
+```
+
+---
+
+## How to Use:
+
+1. On the new machine, open Claude Code in the `D:\ClaudeTools` directory
+2. Copy everything between the triple backticks above
+3. Paste into Claude Code
+4. Claude will read all key files and restore full context
+
+## What Gets Restored:
+
+- **All credentials** - Infrastructure access (AD2, D2TESTNAS, database)
+- **Current project states** - What's done, what's pending
+- **Organization rules** - Where to save files, how to use /save command
+- **Recent work** - All DOS fixes, organization system changes
+- **Operating principles** - Agent coordination, coding standards
