W/ Claude:

  • You act like a technical product manager
  • You need to know what features to build
  • Follow best agentic development practices
  • Ask Claude to document the codebase and you read the documentation as much as possible and try to understand the codebase
  • Always have the next prompt ready for claude, so that you never leave a session unused
  • In my experience so far, the most optimal utilization of your tokens is to use the most powerful model w/ highest effort and thinking mode enabled to define detailed & precise sub-tasks for a feature and then get those tasks done by a 'cheaper' model with low effort
