- Chain with other tools & pipe data
- Run multiple instances simultaneously
📸 Images & Screenshots:
- Drag images directly into terminal
- Use Shift+Cmd+Ctrl+4 → Ctrl+V to paste screenshots
- Perfect for mockups → code workflow
- Automate screenshots with Puppeteer MCP server
⚙️ MCP Integration:
- Connect to databases (Postgres server)
- Use API wrappers
- Access live documentation from tools like Cloudflare
📝 Claude.md Files:
- Auto-loaded prompts for every request
- Use /init to create project-specific guidelines
- Set global configs in ~/claude.md
- Refactor often to keep prompts lean & specific
⚡ UI/UX Tips:
- Tab completion for files/directories
- Hit ESC early when Claude goes off-track
- Use version control religiously
- Let Claude write your commit messages (they're surprisingly good!)
💰 Cost Management:
- Monitor context window usage
- Use external memory & scratchpads
- Consider Claude Max plans ($100-200)
- OpenTelemetry support for team tracking
Pro tip: Work in small iterations, commit often, and don't hesitate to revert when things go sideways!
