Builder rebuilds a Claude Code software factory around planning, implementation, review

A builder says they rebuilt their “software factory” for Claude Code from scratch after realizing a single giant workflow was too rigid.
They split the system into three stages:
- Planning: start from a rough feature idea, then have an LLM pressure-test requirements, assumptions, architecture, and edge cases. The output is a polished spec, ADRs, a glossary, and implementation tasks.
- Implementation: treat the work as multiple focused tasks rather than one monolithic agent run.
- Review: apply a PM/PR-reviewer style check before pushing code and opening the feature PR.
The accompanying diagram emphasizes human judgment in planning, task-level branching, iterative retries, and a final review gate before merge.
