Architect Before You Ask
Ask for a Plan First
Request a plan before any multi-file change — approve the approach, then let it code.
Break the Workflow into Steps
Number each step so Claude builds pieces, not monoliths.
Combine Context with Action

Delegate to a Subagent
Spawn a subagent for research-heavy subtasks; brief it on scope, limits, and report shape.
