Using ChatGPT Work's Astra as a supervisor to drive Claude Code through the browser

A developer building an internal business app replaced constant manual back-and-forth between ChatGPT and Claude Code with a new workflow: ChatGPT Work (Astra 6 Medium) acts as the supervisor and controls Claude Code directly in the browser.
- Plan is worked out with ChatGPT first; Astra turns it into a technical implementation plan
- Astra opens Claude Code, assigns tasks, then reviews actual code, tests and GitHub diffs, verifies the main branch is untouched, and approves clean checkpoints or sends fixes back
- The human only states business needs and approves major decisions; the day-to-day coding loop runs between Astra and Claude
He found Astra strong at holding the plan, architecture and review, while Claude Code excels at implementation — potentially his default workflow for larger projects.
