How I Plan, Build, and Run Loops with Claude Code in 40 Minutes | Thariq Shihipar
About this episode
Thariq Shihipar discusses his work with Claude Code, including planning, building, and running workflows effectively.
Thariq works on the Claude Code team, and I’ve wanted to see how he builds for a long time. In our episode, he showed how to use /goal to keep Claude working, how he plans with Claude to remove unknowns before building, and how he runs a team of agents in Slack. He also shared why his team cut Claude Code’s system prompt by 80% and how he creates polished launch videos with Claude.
