The Claude Code Workflow We Teach Every Student

Rule 1: Spec before session

A one-paragraph spec beats ten follow-up corrections. Write what done looks like, paste it, then start.

For anything past a one-file change, plan mode catches scope drift before it costs tokens. Approve the plan, then let it run.

AI-written code gets AI-written tests plus one human read. The loop is edit → run → verify — never edit → edit → edit.

Teams that adopt these three rules report the same shape of result: week one feels slower, week four is 3× throughput. The discipline is the speed.

Ship full-stack AI apps at conversation speed — specs, agents, deploys, all from the terminal.

Go from zero to confident with Claude Code, the terminal agent that reads, edits, runs, and verifies real code.
