Claude Code's terminal-based interaction within a specific folder allows it to automatically read and reference local files. This makes "context engineering" drastically faster and more powerful than manually pasting information into a traditional chat interface, as the context is implicitly understood.
Define different agents (e.g., Designer, Engineer, Executive) with unique instructions and perspectives, then task them with reviewing a document in parallel. This generates diverse, structured feedback that mimics a real-world team review, surfacing potential issues from multiple viewpoints simultaneously.
To automate meme creation, simply asking an LLM for a joke is ineffective. A successful system requires providing structured context: 1) analysis of the visual media, 2) a library of joke formats/templates, and 3) a "persona" file describing the target audience's specific humor. This multi-layered context is key.
The all-caps `clod` file, created via the `init` command, stores project structure and user-defined rules. Unlike temporary in-chat instructions that get lost or degraded as the conversation continues, this file is referenced in every session, ensuring consistent behavior and enforcing project-wide guardrails.
Instead of managing prompts in a separate library, save them as custom commands directly within your Claude Code project folder. This lets you trigger complex, multi-file prompts with a simple command (e.g., `/meeting_notes`), embedding powerful, recurring workflows directly into your development environment.
The term "agent" is overloaded. Claude Code agents excel at complex, immediate, human-supervised tasks (e.g., researching and writing a one-off PRD). In contrast, platforms like N8N or Lindy are better suited for building automated, recurring workflows that run on a schedule (e.g., daily competitor monitoring).
Unlike Twitter which may reward niche wit, Instagram virality depends on broad shareability. A product management meme account grew to 55k followers by focusing on relatable tropes (e.g., the PM vs. engineer dynamic) that professionals in adjacent roles would share with their peers, expanding the content's reach beyond its core audience.
Don't pay for Claude's most expensive tier just for coding. A hybrid approach uses the cheaper Claude Pro plan for its superior file-handling and writing. For heavy coding, switch to the terminal inside Cursor, which provides access to top models like Opus for only $20/month, creating a powerful stack for under $40.
LLMs often get stuck or pursue incorrect paths on complex tasks. "Plan mode" forces Claude Code to present its step-by-step checklist for your approval before it starts editing files. This allows you to correct its logic and assumptions upfront, ensuring the final output aligns with your intent and saving time.
