build-loop-claude-code

Use when building features with **Claude Code** in any codebase and the work should go through a disciplined build → review → test → fix loop. Triggers on "run the build loop", "build the next task", "continue the plan", "build this feature properly", or any request to implement work from a plan file or a direct feature prompt. Builds from the plan (or the prompt if no plan exists), runs Claude Code's `/review` (plus `/security-review` for sensitive surfaces) and fixes every issue found, tests and verifies the feature end to end, fixes anything testing surfaces, and reports back once complete. Repeats until all plan tasks are checked off.

# Claude Code Build Loop

Quality-gated feature work: nothing ships on "it compiles" — every increment is built, reviewed, tested end to end, and fixed before the user hears "done."

## Source of work

- **A plan file exists** (roadmap, refactor plan, or task list with `- [ ]` checkboxes — search the repo): work the first unchecked task. Tasks are ordered intentionally — never skip ahead. If the plan references spec docs, read only the sections relevant to the current task.
- **No plan (or the request is outside it):** build from the user's prompt. Restate it as a verifiable goal with 2–4 success criteria and confirm scope in one message before building.

## The loop

Run per task (or per prompted feature). Do not advance until every step passes.

1. **Build.** Implement exactly what the task specifies. Simplest implementation that satisfies it, surgical changes, no speculative scope. Match existing project conventions.
