Individual skill

workflow-mastery

Claude Code workflow mastery for .NET developers. Covers parallel execution with git worktrees, plan mode strategy, verification loops, auto-formatting hooks, permission setup for dotnet CLI, prompting techniques, subagent patterns, and context discipline — token budget management, MCP-first navigation, lazy loading, and subagent isolation — all adapted for the .NET ecosystem. Load this skill when setting up Claude Code for a .NET project, optimizing workflows, running parallel sessions, when context is running low or sessions feel sluggish, when exploring a large codebase efficiently, or when the user mentions "productivity", "workflow", "parallel", "worktree", "plan mode", "permissions", "hooks", "10x", "setup Claude Code", "speed up development", "context", "tokens", "budget", "running out of context", "too many files", or "large codebase". Inspired by tips from Boris Cherny (creator of Claude Code) and the Anthropic team.

# Workflow Mastery for .NET

## Core Principles

1. **Parallel over sequential** — Run 3-5 Claude sessions simultaneously using git worktrees. Build a feature in one, fix a bug in another, run tests in a third. The single biggest productivity unlock.
2. **Plan then execute** — For any non-trivial task, start in plan mode, iterate until the plan is bulletproof, then switch to auto-accept. A good plan means Claude 1-shots the implementation.
3. **Verification closes the loop** — Give Claude a way to prove its work: `dotnet build`, `dotnet test`, `get_diagnostics` via MCP. This single practice 2-3x the quality of the output.
4. **Context is a budget, not a dumping ground** — The context window fills fast: a typical .cs file is 500-2000 tokens, and 50 file reads can burn a large share of the budget. Spend tokens like sprint capacity — deliberately.
5. **Automate the repetitive** — If you do it more than once a day, make it a hook, a slash command, or a subagent. Pre-allow safe permissions. Eliminate friction.
6. **Compound your knowledge** — Every correction becomes a rule in `MEMORY.md` (see `instinct-system` skill). Every PR review adds a learning. Over time, Claude's mistake rate drops because your project's knowledge base grows.
