The creator of Claude Code just revealed his INSANE workflow (must watch)

Alex Finn breaks down an eight-step Claude Code workflow that Boris Churnney—the creator of Claude Code at Anthropic—publicly shared, pulling out the most actionable elements and demonstrating several of them live. The result is a structured guide to the practices the tool’s own author uses daily.

The workflow starts with running five parallel Claude Code sessions in the Ghosty terminal rather than VS Code or Cursor, minimizing memory overhead while maximizing throughput. Step two adds Claude web agents via claude.ai for background tasks—Churnney reportedly spins up five to ten agents before sleeping, waking to reviewed code. Step three advocates using Claude Opus 4.5 exclusively, arguing its intelligence recovers more value per token than smaller models despite higher nominal cost. Steps four and five cover maintaining a well-tuned CLAUDE.md rules file and spending significant time iterating in plan mode before any implementation begins, with Churnney noted as regularly one-shotting apps due to thorough upfront planning.

Later steps address committing to git frequently (after each working feature), using Claude to write commit messages and changelogs, and letting Claude handle documentation. Finn demonstrates plan mode live, showing how Claude asks clarifying questions that surface requirements the developer hadn’t consciously considered. Viewers who want a principled, source-attributed framework for structuring their Claude Code sessions—rather than ad hoc prompting—will find this a useful reference.
