Actually please write an article about how you are currently using it then. I've been actively using it and working with sub-agents. I feel like there are very little resources out there on more complex Claude Code setups. I would love to see other setups, like what MCP, hooks, sub-agents, commands, etc.

- Slash commands are the idiomatic way to memoize often used prompts, I wonder why author put them in CLAUDE.md?
- I’m also a bit skeptical that, aside from strict rules CC needs to follow, the encouragements/enchantments for writing good code author put in CLAUDE.md really work. But who knows.
- I DO like the caveats section at the end a lot. This is probably the most important piece of the article, when it comes to large codebases. Never just accept the first draft. Review everything with high suspicion and bend the output to your own style and taste. Otherwise, you‘re pushing legacy code.

#18At the moment they burn a investor money to gain customers by giving us free tools and cheap LLMs.
That will end at some point.

#20Maybe it does have some valuable content but I will just close it.
