Everywhere I can.

Let’s say I need to build a feature, take for instance a common task of integrating with Stripe.

I’ll start by gathering a few links to api documentation and use the Claude chat to say something along the lines of “research integrating with Stripe for invoicing referencing this links. Create a detailed design spec for the features”

Then I’ll take that spec, give it a once over and save it to my code workspace.

I’ll execute Claude Code and prompt something like “Think about the design spec for integrating stripe and create a detailed implementation plan to integrate Stripe in this application staying true to the projects conventions”.

I’ll give that a once over and maybe even ask it to validate the plan against the original spec.

Once I’m satisfied with the spec I say “execute the plan”.

I then move to a different project while it’s running and repeat back and forth.

I’ve been very happy with the quality of code given enough context and guidelines.
