From Chaos to Collaboration: Using Claude Code for Enhanced Software Design
2025-08-24
Initially, the author used Claude Code with a naive, direct-instruction approach, leading to inefficiencies and errors. As tasks grew complex, limitations emerged: conversations lost crucial information, and context limits impacted code quality. The author switched to a plan-driven approach, using Claude Code to create a plan document serving as the single source of truth. Each development phase starts with a fresh conversation, the plan document providing all necessary context. This 'living document' approach enables Claude Code to update the plan during implementation, solving context limitations and improving code reliability. The result is increased efficiency and improved design skills for the author.
