Workflow Mastery for .NET

Core Principles

1. Parallel over sequential — Run 3-5 Claude sessions simultaneously using git worktrees. Build a feature in one, fix a bug in another, run tests in a third. The single biggest productivity unlock.
2. Plan then execute — For any non-trivial task, start in plan mode, iterate until the plan is bulletproof, then switch to auto-accept. A good plan means Claude 1-shots the implementation.
3. Verification closes the loop — Give Claude a way to prove its work: dotnet build, dotnet test, get_diagnostics via MCP. This single practice 2-3x the quality of the output.
4. Automate the repetitive — If you do it more than once a day, make it a hook, a slash command, or a subagent. Pre-allow safe permissions. Eliminate friction.
5. Compound your knowledge — Every correction becomes a rule in MEMORY.md (see self-correction-loop skill). Every PR review adds a learning. Over time, Claude's mistake rate drops because your project's knowledge base grows.

Patterns

Parallel Sessions with Git Worktrees

The biggest productivity multiplier. Each worktree gets its own Claude session, its own files, zero conflicts.
