Senior Engineer's 6-Step Claude Code Workflow: From Idea to Production
MaryamMiradi · x · 2026-08-13
An engineer who has built 400+ production AI agents shares best practices for Claude Code. The core principle: don't start with code—start with specifications.
The recommended workflow combines 5 Claude Code plugins:
- BMAD: Transform rough ideas into PRDs—define goals, users, constraints, and risks
- Spec Kit: Create a project "constitution"—define principles, requirements, and decision rules
- GSD: Research the problem space
- Subsequent steps cover implementation and validation (not fully shown in original post)
Key takeaway: small tasks can be commanded directly, but production-grade AI agents require spec-first engineering.
