Troubleshooting and Best Practices: Tips 96-100

Ta treść nie jest jeszcze dostępna w Twoim języku.

These final tips address common challenges and establish best practices for sustainable Claude Code usage. Learn from the experiences of power users and teams who have navigated the learning curve to achieve remarkable productivity gains.

Balance security with productivity through thoughtful permission management:

{
"autoAllow": [
"git status",
"git diff",
"ls",
"cat",
"grep"
],
"requireApproval": [
"git add",
"git commit",
"rm",
"npm install",
"database operations"
],
"blocked": [
"rm -rf",
"git push --force",
"DROP TABLE",
"DELETE FROM"
]
}

Security Best Practices

  • Never auto-allow destructive commands
  • Be cautious with commands that include sensitive files
  • Review commands that access environment variables
  • Use MCP servers for sensitive operations
  • Maintain different policies for different environments

Real-world example:

Terminal window
# Risky: Auto-allowing git add
"git add ." might include:
- .env files with secrets
- node_modules
- build artifacts
- personal notes
# Safer approach
"git add src/" # Specific paths
"git add -p" # Interactive staging

Working with AI requires a different approach to version control:

Terminal window
# Traditional workflow
- Make changes
- Debug extensively
- Commit when perfect
# Claude Code workflow
- Commit current state
- Let Claude attempt solution
- If unsuccessful, revert and try different approach
- If successful, clean up and commit
# Practical example
git add . && git commit -m "Checkpoint before Claude refactoring"
"Refactor this module to use dependency injection"
# If result is overly complex:
git reset --hard HEAD
/clear
"Refactor this module to use simple dependency injection"

Benefits of frequent reverting:

  • Faster than debugging AI mistakes
  • Cleaner final implementation
  • Better learning what works
  • Reduced frustration
  • Higher quality outcomes

Tip 98: Handle Complex Solutions Carefully

Section titled “Tip 98: Handle Complex Solutions Carefully”

Claude sometimes overengineers solutions. Watch for these patterns:

// Claude's overly complex solution
class UserServiceFactory {
private static instance: UserServiceFactory;
private serviceCache: Map<string, IUserService>;
static getInstance(): UserServiceFactory {
if (!this.instance) {
this.instance = new UserServiceFactory();
}
return this.instance;
}
createService(type: string): IUserService {
// 50 more lines of factory logic
}
}
// What you actually needed
class UserService {
constructor(private db: Database) {}
async getUser(id: string) {
return this.db.users.findOne(id);
}
}

Common overengineering patterns:

  • Unnecessary abstraction layers
  • Premature optimization
  • Over-generalization
  • Complex inheritance hierarchies
  • Excessive design patterns

How to prevent:

# Add to CLAUDE.md
## Simplicity Principles
- PREFER simple solutions over complex ones
- AVOID premature abstraction
- USE design patterns only when clearly beneficial
- START with the simplest working solution
- REFACTOR to add complexity only when needed

Tip 99: Use Escape Key for Proper Interruption

Section titled “Tip 99: Use Escape Key for Proper Interruption”

Master the art of stopping Claude effectively:

Terminal window
# ❌ Wrong: Ctrl+C
# This exits Claude Code entirely
# ✅ Right: Escape
# This stops current operation but keeps session
# Use cases for Escape:
1. Claude is going in wrong direction
2. You realize you need to provide more context
3. You want to add additional instructions
4. Claude is taking too long
5. You notice an error in your request

Interruption Workflow

Terminal window
# Claude starts implementing...
[Escape]
"Wait, I forgot to mention we need to maintain
backward compatibility"
# Claude adjusts approach with new context

Advanced interruption patterns:

  • Early Escape: Stop as soon as you see wrong approach
  • Let it Finish: Sometimes see where Claude is going
  • Escape + Clear: For complete direction change
  • Escape + Refine: Add constraints mid-execution

Claude Code represents a fundamental paradigm shift:

  1. Week 1-2: Adjustment Period

    • Feels awkward and slow
    • Tendency to over-verify
    • Not sure what to delegate
    • May feel less productive
  2. Week 3-4: Finding Rhythm

    • Develop trust in certain areas
    • Learn Claude’s strengths/weaknesses
    • Start batching tasks effectively
    • Productivity begins increasing
  3. Month 2: Acceleration

    • Natural flow develops
    • Instinctively know what works
    • Complex tasks become routine
    • 2-3x productivity common
  4. Month 3+: Mastery

    • Claude becomes primary interface
    • Tackle previously impossible tasks
    • Team workflows transformed
    • 5-10x productivity possible
## Daily Workflow Best Practices
### Morning Routine
1. Clear previous context: `/clear`
2. Review yesterday's work
3. Plan today's tasks
4. Queue up morning work
5. Review and commit completed tasks
### During Development
- Commit before each Claude task
- Clear between unrelated work
- Use specific, detailed requests
- Verify output before proceeding
- Update CLAUDE.md with learnings
### End of Day
- Review all changes
- Update documentation
- Check `/cost` for optimization
- Plan tomorrow's work
- Commit and push
Terminal window
# Self-review checklist
"Review the code we wrote today for:
- Logic errors
- Security issues
- Performance problems
- Missing tests
- Documentation gaps"

Sustainable Practices

  1. Continuous Learning

    • Regular retrospectives
    • Share discoveries with team
    • Update workflows based on experience
  2. Cost Management

    • Daily usage reviews
    • Model selection optimization
    • Context management discipline
  3. Quality Focus

    • Never compromise on verification
    • Maintain high testing standards
    • Regular security audits
  4. Team Alignment

    • Shared standards and practices
    • Regular knowledge sharing
    • Coordinated improvements

As you master Claude Code, remember:

Claude Code is not a replacement for developer thinking—it’s an amplifier. The best results come from combining human creativity and judgment with AI’s speed and consistency.

Both Claude’s capabilities and best practices evolve rapidly. Stay engaged with the community, experiment with new features, and share your discoveries.

Teams report not just productivity gains but fundamental changes in how they approach software development. Embrace this transformation while maintaining engineering rigor.

The future of software development is human-AI collaboration. These 100 tips provide the foundation, but your innovations will define what’s possible.

From setup to advanced techniques, from individual productivity to team transformation, these 100 tips represent the collective wisdom of Claude Code’s early adopters and power users.

The key insights:

  • Start simple: Master basics before advanced features
  • Think differently: Adopt AI-first development mindset
  • Verify everything: Speed without quality is worthless
  • Share knowledge: Team success amplifies individual gains
  • Keep learning: The tools and techniques continue evolving

Whether you’re writing your first line of code with Claude or architecting enterprise systems, remember that this technology represents a new era in software development. Embrace it thoughtfully, use it wisely, and help shape its future.

Welcome to the age of AI-augmented development. The possibilities are limitless.


These tips are based on real-world usage by Anthropic teams and the broader Claude Code community. Continue experimenting, share your discoveries, and help push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI-assisted development.
