Step-by-step guides for common development patterns with Claude Code.
Search Tools Mastery ⭐ NEW
Master the art of code search by combining rg, grepai, Serena & ast-grep
Learn when to use each tool, how to combine them for maximum efficiency, and real-world workflows including:
- Exploring unknown codebases
- Large-scale refactoring
- Security audits
- Framework migrations
- Performance optimization
Key Topics:
- Quick decision matrix
- Complete feature comparison
- 5 combined workflows
- Performance benchmarks
- Common pitfalls
- Tool selection cheatsheet
Structure complex tasks with planning mode before execution.
When to use: Multi-step features, architectural changes, uncertainty about approach
Test-Driven Development workflow: write tests first, implement after.
When to use: Critical functionality, regression prevention, API design
Write specifications before code for better requirements clarity.
When to use: Team collaboration, complex features, documentation-first projects
Improve code through multiple refinement cycles.
When to use: Quality improvements, performance optimization, code cleanup
Skeleton Projects ⭐ NEW
Use existing battle-tested repositories as scaffolding for new projects.
When to use: Starting new projects, standardizing team patterns, rapid prototyping from proven foundations
Convert design mockups (Figma, wireframes) into working code.
When to use: Frontend development, UI implementation, design system work
Generate professional PDFs using Quarto/Typst with Claude Code.
When to use: Reports, documentation, whitepapers, technical documents
Configure Text-to-Speech for Claude Code responses (Agent Vibes integration).
When to use: Audio feedback, accessibility, hands-free coding
Systematically explore and understand unfamiliar codebases.
When to use: New projects, legacy code, documentation gaps
