  • Plan with Claude by asking it to identify potential unknowns or failures before building.
  • Use '/goal' only when there's a verifiable finish line, such as a rendered video.
  • Thariq's team cut Claude Code's system prompt by 80% to avoid constraining newer models.
  • Techniques for planning, building, and running loops with Claude Code are discussed.
  • Running parallel Claude tasks through Slack and using separate creator/verifier sub-agents are covered.
