Spec-driven development

Kiro introduced this term,

But I've been doing that in Claude Code for weeks

Here is how I bake spec development & plan into my process

I have the full prompt in @aibuilderclub_

Most people didn't understand how to use hooks,

or only use for basic stuff like notification

But It is a powerful thing

Here is how i use it

Super Claude & Custom commands

A good collection of pre-built commands

You can resume/export conversation

This allows me to switch between Claude Code/Cursor/ChatGPT without losing context

The proper way to revert changes & version control

You can do esc + esc to revery history

+ ccundo OR yoyo for proper version control

You can actually connect to other models in Claude Code by change base url

And you can just change in ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc once for all

Below is the CLAUDE.md for plan

Hooks and other notes are in @aibuilderclub_, If you are interested, I will share how Claude Code is built in the upcoming @aibuilderclub_ weekly sessions too

```## Plan & Review

### Before starting work
- Always in plan mode to make a plan
- After get the plan, make sure you Write the plan to .claude/tasks/TASK_NAME.md.
- The plan should be a detailed implementation plan and the reasoning behind them, as well as tasks broken down.
- If the task require external knowledge or certain package, also research to get latest knowledge (Use Task tool for research)
- Don't over plan it, always think MVP.
- Once you write the plan, firstly ask me to review it. Do not continue until I approve the plan.

### While implementing
- You should update the plan as you work.
- After you complete tasks in the plan, you should update and append detailed descriptions of the changes you made, so following tasks can be easily hand over to other engineers.```
