I found good content while scrolling on Reddit and brought it here.
Gemini worked hard on this report, and I finalized it and added content.
Source: reddit : Claude Code creator Boris shares his setup with 13 detailed steps,full details below
Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code, has organized his work environment and expertise that he directly shared.
"Tools are just support; the essence is workflow" seems to align with the saying that a master craftsman doesn't discriminate about tools, wouldn't you say?
If you're thinking about development productivity, there are many tips worth trying right away.
1. 'Hybrid' use of terminal and web
Boris doesn't use just one window. He keeps 5 terminal (iTerm2) tabs open and simultaneously runs 5-10 web sessions in parallel.
2. 'Intelligence' over speed (Opus 4.5)
For coding models, he insists on using the larger and slower Opus 4.5 instead of Sonnet.
3. The secret to not repeating mistakes: CLAUDE.md
This is the most important point. The entire team shares a CLAUDE.md file in the project root.
4. Starting with 'Plan mode'
He doesn't just tell it to write code blindly.
Press Shift+Tab twice to enter Plan mode.(I haven't verified this.)
After discussing sufficiently with the AI and perfecting the design, then he entrusts the implementation and approves it once (Auto-approve).
👍: You must do this well.
5. Automating repetitive tasks with 'commands'
Frequently used workflows (e.g., commit-push-PR creation) are created as slash commands (/command).
6. Verification is the core of quality
He doesn't just hand off work to the AI and finish.
He has it directly test the UI by opening a browser, or verifies by running the test suite.
He emphasizes that "if you give the AI means to verify itself (feedback loop), the quality of the output jumps 2-3 times."
💡 Summary It seems the key to Boris Cherny's tips is not just "write code for me," but creating a cycle of "Design (Plan) → Learn Rules (CLAUDE.md) → Automate (Command) → Verify".
There were 13, but it got shorter when I summarized.
Please refer to the original text for more details.
