Parallel workflows

How to run multiple Claude Code sessions across different projects without losing context or shipping garbage.

Task scoping

Writing specs tight enough for an AI agent to execute independently. The 30-second scope that produces hours of work.

Diff review

Reviewing AI-generated code across 6 projects. What to accept, what to kick back, and how to do it fast.

The methodology

Why this workflow requires specs. Why vibe coding can't do this. And what spec coding actually looks like in practice.
