I started getting much better results from Claude Code when I stopped dropping it into problems with almost no context. Now, before I ask for anything, I spend 30–60 seconds giving it the shape of the task: what the project is trying to do, what I’m optimizing for, what I already tried, and any constraints that matter. It sounds simple, but it changed the output more than I expected. I get fewer generic suggestions, less back-and-forth, and more answers that fit the actual codebase instead of a hypothetical one. The biggest difference for me was not “better prompts” in the abstract, but giving enough context so Claude could make useful tradeoffs instead of guessing. Curious what small workflow change made Claude Code more useful for you. What’s one habit that actually changed your day-to-day results? submitted by /u/codebymelendez
