As the competition for coding agents intensifies, Claude Code seems one of the popular choices. If you are relatively new to the space and thinking about how to get started, here is my two cents after using Claude Code for both personal projects and day job. Prepare the code so that Claude understands its context To do that generate CLAUDE.md file in the repo. It is a file that Claude automatically pulls into the context.

LLMs like Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot are getting better at solving coding problems. But anyone who has ever written a business feature knows that the real challenge is not just writing the code. The code should follow your existing coding patterns, respect organization specific linting rules, use the right libraries, and fit into your architecture. So no matter how tempting it is for a developer to just copy paste the title and maybe description from the ticket in your favourite ticket management system its highly likely not going to produce code which is closer to the final version.
