Here's what the Founder of Claude Code does before he starts ANY project:
1. Plans first, codes never, he goes back and forth with Claude on the plan until it's perfect. No code gets written yet
2. Creates a CLAUDE.md file (a simple doc that Claude reads every session so it knows your project, your rules, your style)
3. Gives Claude a way to verify its own work
- For backend: write and run tests
- For UI: take screenshots, check in browser
Claude should never finish a task without proving it works
4. Sets up project-level permission rules in settings.json instead of skipping permissions entirely. Shared with the whole team
5. Five more preparation steps in VIDEO BELOW
6. Only then switches to auto-accept mode and lets Claude build
The part most people miss:
he doesn't treat Claude as a magic box that gets things right first try
he treats it like a junior dev that needs clear instructions, feedback loops, and guardrails
at scale he runs multiple sessions in parallel, uses Opus with thinking enabled because it makes fewer mistakes even though it's slower
and relies on background agents that push code for later review
his setup is surprisingly simple. no crazy custom tools. just slash commands, subagents, and a clean CLAUDE.md
the difference isn't the tool. it's how you set it up before you start â€ïž
