Why is plain Claude code outdated? I thought that’s what most people are using right now that are AI forward. Is it Ralph loops now that’s the new thing?
Plain Claude Code doesn’t have enough scaffolding to handle large projects
At a base level, people are “upgrading” their Claude Code with custom skills and subagents - all text files saved in .claude/agents|skills.
You can also use their new tasks primitive to basically run a Ralph-like loop
But at the edges, people are using multiple instances, each handling different aspects in parallel - stuff like Gas Town
Tbf you can still get a lot of mileage out of vanilla Claude Code. But I’ve found that even adding a simple frontend design skill improves the output substantially
