Currently my workflow is as follows:

- Pull down any related repos into a root dir

- Tell Claude (Claude Code) to create a markdown file with details on the different repos and how they relate to each other.

- Will create a markdown file explaining the changes I need made.

- Ask it to think through the problem and create a detailed change plan in a separate markdown file.

- Have Claude create a detailed Todo list.

- I'll review everything and, if it's good, have it kick off the work. It should detail any issues it runs into into the change file, not ask permission, and provide me with the required steps to test the changes.

At that point I essentially take back over, review the code, and engage in a two way conversation to dial the changes in.

This is a natural workflow that developed over time but I never truly stopped to think through it. Am I on an island of one with this process? If so, how are you all using the tools?
