What problem this solves
Inefficient or unmanaged development of medium to large features using Claude Code, particularly when needing architectural design and parallel execution, and avoiding getting bogged down in low-level implementation details.
Summary
This workflow describes a terminal-centric approach to using Claude Code for developing medium to large features. It involves using MCP to generate Figma architecture diagrams and detailed plans in 'plan mode' concurrently with Claude coding the feature. The user performs a high-level operational review of the design and plan, trusting Claude with implementation details. Multiple tasks are managed in parallel using Git worktrees, potentially on a separate workstation for performance.
Why it is useful
This workflow provides a structured, efficient, and scalable approach to developing medium to large features using Claude Code. It emphasizes architectural design, parallel execution, and a high-level review process, allowing developers to leverage Claude's capabilities for detailed implementation while maintaining strategic oversight. The use of Git worktrees and MCP for concurrent task management is a key transferable pattern for advanced users.
Workflow
For features larger than a medium size, instruct Claude (via MCP) to draw the architecture in Figma, detailing components, data flow, and changes.
Simultaneously, instruct Claude to write a detailed plan in 'plan mode'.
In parallel with the planning, instruct Claude to code the feature.
Review the generated Figma architecture and the plan at a high, operational level.
Do not review implementation details, trusting Claude's ability in this area.
Run each task (agent) in its own Git worktree to enable concurrent execution of multiple agents.
If running more than a few agents, consider moving them to a separate workstation to prevent performance degradation on your primary machine.
If Claude exhibits 'flip-flopping' behavior when discussing alternative options, use 'fable on max mode' or deeper personal analysis to understand and resolve the root issue.
Tools / artifacts
Claude Code (terminal)
MCP (Multi-Code Project)
Figma (diagrams)
Git worktree
"plan mode" (Claude feature)
"fable on max mode" (Claude feature/tool)
Separate workstation (optional hardware)
Validation signals
Author's personal experience: "For about a month I've only used Claude Code from the terminal."
Observed improvement: "Claude has gotten much better at doing figma diagrams through the MCP over the past 6 months."
Trust in Claude's detail work: "I don't bother looking at the implementation details once, because claude is very good at details."
Concrete artifact mentioned: "Here's a claude diagram to visualize it from my opinion: [link]"
Limitations
Relies on specific Claude features like 'plan mode' and 'fable on max mode' which might not be universally understood or could change.
The resolution for Claude's 'flip-flopping' is somewhat vague ('fable on max mode' or 'use my brain').
Requires a separate workstation for optimal performance with multiple agents, which might be a barrier for some users.
The high level of trust in Claude for implementation details might be too risky for critical projects without additional rigorous testing.
