1. What's a project you're planning to build? Doesn't have to be a website. Internal tool, content system, client work, anything.

2. Write your Step 3 prompt and post it here. Don't run it yet. Let the community give feedback before you burn tokens.

3. If you've already tried this method: how many total prompts from start to finished build? The benchmark is under 10. What would you front-load differently next time?

✅ Action Step

Run Steps 1 and 2 right now in Claude chat. Pick any project. Analyze what exists, then ask Claude to write a markdown briefing document for Claude Code to read.

Save that file. Drop it in your project folder. You just did the thing that saves the most tokens long term.
