Step 1: The Spec Architect

First, let's define your project. Claude works best when it knows the "big picture" before it writes a single line of code.

Claude needs this context first.
✓ Project Spec Defined

Step 2: The Memory Generator

A CLAUDE.md file acts as the project's "long-term memory." It stops Claude from making silly mistakes or forgetting your coding style.

Select options to generate memory...

💡 Copy this into a file named CLAUDE.md in your project root.

✓ CLAUDE.md Generated

Step 3: The Tracer Bullet

Don't ask Claude to build the whole app. Ask for a "Tracer Bullet"—one tiny feature that works end-to-end.

Step 4: The Growth Loop
