Universal Starter Prompt for Claude Code
doodlestein · x · 2026-07-13
The author shares their go-to "universal starter prompt" for Claude Code, specifically tailored for in-flight projects—meaning ongoing projects rather than starting from scratch.
Core directives in the prompt include:
- Re-reading AGENTS.md initially
- Using /ntm and /vibing-with-ntm to create a swarm
- Combining 4 cod instances + 2 cc instances
- Regularly cleaning old build artifacts to prevent disk space issues
- Using rch uniformly for builds/tests
- Avoiding concurrent builds by multiple agents on the same project to prevent contention
Overall, it serves as a practical multi-agent operations template for real-world engineering collaboration.
