I know you crave more wins, less rework, these ten Claude Code habits will boost your confidence and creativity every project

1️⃣ Talk it out with Claude: Open-ended chats about stack, features, and tools sharpen your plan. Results? Fewer blind spots.

2️⃣ Plan step‑by‑step: Have Claude craft a meticulous roadmap, then break it into bites. Avoid overwhelm; guide the process. Shift + Tab

3️⃣ Pin project rules: Run /init in Claude to create a claude.md at the project root for global team rules. Keeps guidance clear

4️⃣ Rule per folder: Make claude.md files for /src/components, /src/db, etc. Pinpoint context = sharper AI help, less mistakes

5️⃣ Log every session: Track: what you did, what worked, what’s next. Use custom session commands for memory, future you will thank you. ( sub-agent / memory)

6️⃣ Use subagents: Powerful, but burn through context fast.

7️⃣ End sessions and /clear context often to keep Claude focused. Avoid “dumber” responses as context bloats

8️⃣ check: bunx ccusage - a command-line tool that quickly shows your current Claude AI token consumption and usage, helping you avoid hitting your weekly limits
