That’s the problem — about 50% of the time, the result is so messy that cleaning it up takes more time than just writing it. So I wonder is there a better way to prompt or structure things so that I consistently get clean, usable code?

I’ve seen so many people praise Claude Code so highly that my first instinct was to assume I must be using it wrong. I’ve tried quite a few different workflows and prompting styles — but still haven’t been able to get results anywhere near as good as what those people describe.
