Claude for Developers

Use Claude for planning, debugging, refactoring, documentation, and code review without blindly accepting its output. You learn one repeatable loop and the building blocks Claude Code gives you to run it: plan mode, a CLAUDE.md project file, small reviewable steps, and your own judgment as the final gate. You stay responsible for architecture, quality, testing, and every decision. Claude makes each step faster.
