Descriptions:
Greg Baugues walks through 47 pro tips for Claude Code, Anthropic’s CLI-based agentic coding tool, drawing directly from a post by Boris Churnney — the engineer who created Claude Code. The video is organized into functional categories rather than a flat list, making it practical reference material for developers already using or evaluating the tool.
Coverage spans CLI usage patterns (headless mode with -p, piping, multiple parallel instances), image workflows (drag-and-drop on macOS, Puppeteer MCP server for automated screenshots, feeding screenshots back as feedback), CLAUDE.md configuration for persistent project context, slash commands as reusable prompt templates with interpolated arguments, and MCP server integrations including Postgres, Cloudflare documentation, and general API wrappers. Baugues also demonstrates fetching live URLs directly — useful when MCP docs aren’t yet available for a given framework.
The session management section is particularly practical: using Escape to interrupt off-course generations, committing after every significant change with Claude-written commit messages, and reverting to clean git states rather than attempting to debug broken sessions. The video frames Claude Code primarily as a CLI tool to be combined with version control discipline, not a magic autocomplete layer — a framing that shapes all the advice given.
