Hi, I know only basics of Swift and Xcode, I did learn it years ago. I’m making some apps for myself, and I’m amazed by the output Claude Code generates. I’m still learning, thinking what is the best approach for this kind of thing. Most of the time I use the Claude extension in Xcode, and I talk to Claude using the assistant side window. Anyway let’s say there is simple app coded in Python or C++ or whatever, and I would like to use that code’s logic etc. and create a Mac or iOS app using Claude Code mostly. Should I put the let’s say Python code in same folder as my Xcode project, and tell code to read it and “learn it”? I assume it’s not the most efficient way? Or should I explain in CLAUDE.md which file/folder does what in the source code that I’m porting to Swift etc? Any tips appreciated. I also keep hitting limits all the time which is super frustrating, but I’m learning and want to use less tokens, not sure how yet. Thanks! submitted by /u/just_another_leddito
