Overview
The video reveals Boris Churnney’s (Claude Code creator) advanced workflow that treats Claude like a system, not a chatbot. Instead of single-session interactions, he runs multiple Claude instances in parallel, uses shared memory files, and creates specialized sub-agents for consistent, production-level development work.
Key Takeaways
- Run multiple Claude sessions in parallel - treat Claude like a team of employees working on different tasks simultaneously rather than waiting for one response at a time
- Create a shared memory file (claude.md) in your git repository - document every mistake or preference so Claude doesn’t relearn the same lessons across sessions, creating permanent system improvement
- Always start in planning mode before execution - spend time getting the plan right with Claude as a planning partner, then switch to auto-accept mode for reliable one-shot implementation
- Build specialized sub-agents for common workflows - create narrow-focus agents for consistent, predictable behavior rather than reprompting from scratch each time
- Enable Claude to verify its own work - output quality improves 2-3x when Claude can run tests, check UI behavior, and validate outputs through tight feedback loops
