Practical tips and workflow patterns from months of daily Claude Code use at Marmelab. Key recommendations include using plan mode before coding, requesting only one step at a time, using /rewind and /clear to recover from mistakes, leveraging the preview for autonomous error detection, and documenting learnings in CLAUDE.md and ADRs. Also covers useful plugins (Context7, Snyk MCP, GitHub CLI), pitfalls to avoid (too many parallel agents, excessive context windows, batch commands), and best practices like creating reusable skills and keeping CLAUDE.md under 200 lines.
