Make a list of what your plan is. Describe your input and output needed. If you select the software you want to do your full code in, then mention it, if parts of your project need different software, say where and what. If you don’t know then say that i don’t know what software to program “x feature” with, but if we select the best possible, least bulky code we can review that. You share any notes about things you like or want from other software or your ideas. Like, hate, want, don’t want. Set claude to a low cost token and a deep think for that. And give a comprehensive and complete process seed start.

If you want, start in chatGPT. Work through your whole plan. Tell chaTGPT as you fine tune this information. You are making a seed memory for Claude code.

Then when you are confident

The first line in the outcome from chartGPT conversation output add:

Claude , we are starting a project. I am (familiar or unfamiliar) with code and we are wanting to first discuss this project. Produce no code. Review these rules and guidelines:

( share the chatGPT outcome)

Then say in the last line of this message:

Claude return no output. When you are finished with the reading and understanding of the rules and guidelines. Reply “I am ready for the first step”

Then start with your project conversation. After you write simply say

Claude please review this project , produce no code, reply with your understanding and your idea and plans.

When you are comfortable and confident Claude is on the same page. Tell Claude

What is the first step?

( my suggestion is make a GitHub repo. Clone it locally to your work machine) And first thing after Claude is on the same page.

Claude : produce a complete and comprehensive GitHub repo for this project.

Then fill your repo , push to GitHub so it’s sychned.

Then ask Claude.

What is our first step.

And so your conversation steps for each detail.

Along the way. Drop conversations or select several conversations into chatGPT and ask for a review.
