Your First Step into Claude Code
Lead
Claude Code
Like a Team Director
Stop micromanaging code. Start leading your AI team. Learn the frameworks that transform you from hands-on developer to technical director.
The Director Mode Framework
Lead Claude Code like a team director. Define goals and let your AI team handle the execution.
Goals over Instructions
Define the outcome you want. Your team figures out how to deliver it.
Learn moreTeam Delegation
Specialized agents work like team members. Parallel execution delivers 5-10x efficiency.
Learn moreProject Blueprint
Establish guiding principles that shape all development. Consistency across every interaction.

# Traditional Approach (Hands-on Developer)
"Please read the file src/auth.ts, then add a new function called
validateToken that takes a token string and returns a boolean..."
# Director Mode Approach
"Implement JWT token validation following our security guidelines.
Ensure test coverage and integrate with existing auth flow."
# Your AI team autonomously:
# → Explores codebase structure
# → Identifies security patterns
# → Implements with tests
# → Validates against project blueprintYour CLAUDE.md is Your Blueprint
The most important file in any Claude Code project. Master the 7 design principles that make the difference between good and exceptional AI-assisted development.
- Clarity over Cleverness
Clear, unambiguous instructions that leave no room for misinterpretation.
- Hierarchy of Authority
Layered configuration that balances flexibility with consistency.
- Permissions, Not Restrictions
Enable Claude to work efficiently instead of constantly blocking it.
# Project Blueprint
## Core Guidelines
- Allow all local file operations
- Execute tests before committing
- Use TypeScript strict mode
- Follow existing patterns
## Delegation
- code-reviewer: Quality checks
- test-runner: Automated testing
- security-auditor: Vulnerability scan
## Efficiency
- Parallel agent execution
- No unnecessary confirmations
- Direct action over explanationLatest Articles

Skill Design: The Script vs. LLM Split
Every workflow can be turned into a Skill. The key is knowing which parts should be deterministic scripts and which parts need LLM judgment. A practical methodology from requirement analysis to Skill design.
Agent Teams: The Afterlife — Six Fractures in Session Management
The last article covered five ways agents die. This one covers what happens after — when agents resurrect into amnesia, when the living inherit the chaos, and how six systemic fractures tear apart the session lifecycle.
AI Coding Is Retracing the OS Evolution Path
Unix took 50 years to go from flat files to Kubernetes. AI Coding is doing the same journey at 10x speed. Here's the full roadmap — what already happened, what's breaking now, what comes next, and where the paths diverge.
