How to Use Claude Code Properly (aidailycheck.com)

Anthropic published a practical guide to using Claude (their AI assistant) effectively — with a focus on coding workflows. The guide walks users from first prompts and basic best practices to advanced uses like long-context conversations, complex reasoning, and system design. It also lays out a strategic workflow aimed at preventing rewrites and saving tokens, plus concrete tooling: a Claude Code GitHub Action that you can install and run from the CLI to generate or update code directly in repositories. This matters because it moves Claude from a conversational assistant into an integrated developer toolchain component. Key technical takeaways: leverage Claude’s long-context capabilities and advanced reasoning patterns for multi-step design and debugging, apply the recommended prompt/workflow patterns to reduce iteration and token costs, and automate code generation via the GitHub Action to integrate AI-driven edits into CI/CD. For engineers and ML practitioners, that means faster prototyping, fewer manual refactors, and reproducible code changes orchestrated from the command line and repository actions.
