I put together a public GitHub repo with 10 Claude Code techniques I keep going back to. It's free: github.com/seankim-android/claude-code-field-notes.
The repo has three files:
- README.md — 10 specific moves with exact prompt text you can copy
- CLAUDE.md.example — a starter CLAUDE.md with rules that actually stick
- prompts.md — six reusable templates: debugging, task decomposition, sub-agent failure handling, recovery after context reset
Here's a sample of what's in there:
The state file pattern:
For any task that runs across multiple sessions:
At the start of each session, read tasks/current-task.md.
After any significant progress, update it with what you did, what's next, and any blockers.
When a session resets or context fills, you're back on track in 30 seconds. Without it you're spending 10 minutes re-explaining context every time.
Sub-agent failure format:
Add this to any sub-agent prompt:
If you cannot complete this task, output:
STATUS: FAILED
REASON: <specific reason>
PARTIAL_OUTPUT: <anything useful, or "None">
Without structure, failures look like successes until you check the output. Silent partial results are the worst kind of bug.
The .claudeignore most people skip:
node_modules/
.next/
dist/
build/
*.log
.env*
coverage/
*.lock
Also ignore anything that fills context without adding signal: auto-generated files, compiled output.
Repo: github.com/seankim-android/claude-code-field-notes. Star it if it's useful.
The full 50-move pack is at builtbyzac.com for $9.
