How a pull/diff/push CLI workflow bridges the gap between database content and file-based AI editing tools like Claude Code.

The full story of building ivanmisic.net from scratch. No frameworks, no templates. Just PHP, vanilla JS, a custom CSS design system, and Claude Code.

As projects grow, the way you use Claude Code needs to evolve. Start fresh sessions often, be specific about files, and break big tasks into small steps.

Something broke. Don't panic. Describe the problem, show Claude a screenshot, and let it investigate. Most bugs get fixed in two or three rounds.

Claude Code is powerful, which is exactly why you should verify the important stuff. Review changes, protect sensitive files, save snapshots, and start fresh sessions.

A messy project folder slows you down and confuses Claude. Organized projects get better results because clear structure means clear communication.

CLAUDE.md gives Claude the overview, but rule files handle the details. They're focused documents in .claude/rules/ that Claude reads automatically based on what it's working on.

Some prompts you'll type over and over. Custom commands let you save them as reusable recipes. Type a short name instead of pasting a paragraph every time.

Every time you start Claude Code, it forgets who you are. CLAUDE.md is a text file that gives it permanent memory. One file, read automatically at the start of every session.

Claude Code will misunderstand you. It will edit the wrong file. It will occasionally do the opposite of what you asked. Normal. You just need to know how to recover.

Set up your screen so you can see Claude Code and your project at the same time. This one change makes the whole experience feel different. Terminal on one side, results on the other.
