Hi all - So wanted to build a small hobby project as a way to get into AI assisted coding (finally!) and hoping for some guidance here. Some of these are likely newbie questions so feel free to just refer me to somewhere. == Question How do people work with CC as a workflow? What I am dong is I have Claude Chat app (on Mac) open on a window that has a project “MiniClaw” where I chat with Claude. We do design and think thru things and then Claude generates the CC prompt that I copy paste into the CC CLI. I have CC CLI update an architecture.md file after non-trivial changes and I copy that into Claude’s project files to keep Claude up-to-date with the design. This is working reasonably ok for me - but I just don’t know if this is what people do or people just use the CLI only. Using the CLI only would mean I miss out on Claude features like having all my chat in the project browsable in a nice GUI, having project (non-code) artifacts, etc I also asked Claude and it claimed that it is better at design than Claude Code which is really more of a coding engine than for design/architecture thinking. Thanks in advance and apologies for newbie questions! == Optional context The mini project am working on is building what I am calling “MiniClaw” … basically a personal assistant that follows OpenClaw design but is grounds up coded by me using CC. Seems like a way to learn about OpenClaw, and CC while building something potentially useful for me. Where I am right now - I have a working prototype agent that runs on my laptop, supports a local hosted webpage chat interface and Telegram. I have a tools architecture that provides the agent with tools and allows me to add more tools in future. Current tools allow the agent to fetch emails from my gmail and also get weather from internet. I basically want to get a daily briefing. submitted by /u/creditquant
