A Claude.md Delegation Rule: Plan Before Execute
PrajwalTomar_ · x · 2026-07-11
The author shares a delegation policy to be added to CLAUDE.md to enforce a strict development workflow:
- The Planner / reviewer handles planning and acceptance, without directly implementing code.
- For implementation tasks, write the plan and acceptance criteria first, then delegate execution to a subagent.
- Before approval, review the diff against the acceptance criteria.
- Only modify code directly when the task requires human judgment that the subagent cannot provide.
The core practice here is treating agents as executors while placing humans or main agents in planning and reviewing roles, minimizing the risks of blind code modifications.
