I've been at this for many years. If I want to implement a new feature that ties together various systems and delivers an expected output, I know the general steps that I need to take. About 80% of those steps are creating and stubbing out new files with the general methods and objects I know will be needed, and all the test cases. So... I could either spend the next 4 hours doing that, or spend 3 minutes filling out a CLAUDE.md with the specs and 5 minutes having Claude do it (and fairly well).

I feel no shame in doing the later. I've also learned enough about LLMs that I know how to write that CLAUDE.md so it sticks to best practices. YMMV.

Could you share some examples / tips about this?
