About me

20 years — full-stack, mobile, game

214 PRs in 2025 → 415 in 2026

Our focus

Research → Plan → Implement

Approach the discussion with ideas and questions

Use research to construct a detailed phase-based implementation plan

Implement each phase, with tests + commits between

Coding harnesses

Claude code

Skills

MCP tools

Research

Read-only codebase exploration

Write the findings down

Storage options — database, obsidian, markdown

Loop for improvements

Research output isn't always good enough on the first pass

Would you feel confident planning from this?

Questions about research?

New feature

One command → branch + worktree + feature doc

assertchris/claude-skills/custom-workflow-new-feature

Switch to worktree

Plan

The plan is a written artifact

Each phase gets its own research pass before steps are written

assertchris/claude-skills/custom-workflow-plan

Manual review

Bad plan → bad code, confidently

Check phase order, correctness, completeness

Questions about planning?

Implement

One phase at a time, one sub-agent per phase

Each phase ends with a commit

Phase N: ... commit messages make history readable as a story

Tips & tricks

The AI doesn't remember anything between sessions by default

Commit preferences to a store + amend the system prompt to always search it

pclaude alias

pclaude: aliased to claude --append-system-prompt="<rules> ALWAYS identify meaningful keywords from the user request and search your preferences store BEFORE taking any action. Read the results and follow every matching preference exactly. Do not rely on memory -- always search fresh, every time. These rules apply to you and all subagents you spawn. </rules>" --append-subagent-system-prompt="<rules>... same rules ...</rules>"

Friday's implementation: SQLite + MCP tool

Let me show you Friday
