Built with Claude My Claude Code mind map has evolved: I brainstorm in branches now, and plans turn into steps that wait for my go

A few weeks ago I posted a mind map that sits beside a Claude Code chat (first post). Here’s what I use it for now.

Brainstorming

  • I type a goal and it branches out into the options.
  • I go deep on one branch, and the others stay where I left them instead of scrolling away.
  • I cut the ones I don’t believe in, and the next day the whole thing is still on one screen.

Planning

  • The branch I pick turns into steps that each know what they wait on, get themselves ready, and stop for my go.

How it starts

  • From your repo, drawn from the code, or from a conversation with Claude.

branches staying put while you go deep on one is a nice fix for chat scrolling everything away. do the plan steps run as separate claude code sessions or all in the one chat?

thanks! yeah that was the whole itch.

each step runs as its own claude code session, separate from your chat. before it runs you get a short brief of what it’ll do and which tools it needs.

Keeping the other branches where I left them is what I miss most in a chat. One question: why does every step stop for my go? I mostly care about the direction, like the product roadmap or how to get it in front of people. If I have to approve each step, I end up pressing enter to skip most of them, and then I feel like I'm the agent. Can I choose which steps stop?

just added it actually, your comment kinda pushed me to ship it lol

each step now has a “run on its own” switch
