Iterative Refinement

Rarely does a complex feature get built in one single prompt. The best way to use Claude Code is through a back-and-forth dialogue.

The Workflow

  1. Start Small: Ask for the core logic first
  2. Review: Check what Claude implemented
  3. Course Correct: "That's good, but move the state to the parent component"
  4. Expand: "Now add unit tests for that edge case"

This iterative approach gives you control and produces better results than trying to specify everything upfront.
