I am using Claude since 2024, started with aider, when there was no Claude code. Than moved to Claude code last year. It can be intimidating for people who havent worked on terminals. First plan what you want to do, don't be too vague. Than start talking to Claude Code, and tell it about what you want to do. Save your conversation or summary in memory,md, just ask Claude Code to do it. Review each point. Once you feel that it understands the job tell it to update the claude.md . I use Claude Code only for development.
