I found if you are tightly in the loop, keep the code highly modular, and are developing new functionality alongside tests, Claude works much better.

Yeah me too, keeping the code modular being a huge part of it. In the same vein is actually finishing feature flags and removing the old code, killing off truly dead code, tests, documentation… basically eliminate as much noise as you can, so that it reads as much exemplary code as possible.

Good point. I tell Claude in the claude.md to use a linter and formatter which helps it get rid of its own dead code while it develops.
