Boris Workflow Methodology

This skill documents the workflow used by Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code. Use these principles when orchestrating development tasks.

Core Principles

1. Plan First, Execute Second

"Most sessions start in Plan mode. Go back and forth until I like the plan. From there, auto-accept and Claude can usually 1-shot it."

Implementation:

• Always create a written plan before coding
• Get explicit approval before proceeding
• Plans should include: goal, steps, verification strategy
• A good plan enables 1-shot execution

2. Verification is Everything

"Give Claude a way to verify its work. If Claude has that feedback loop, it will 2-3x the quality."
