Claude Code: Your AI Terminal Co-Pilot
Claude Code lives in your terminal and understands your entire codebase. Unlike chat-based AI, it can read files, run commands, make multi-file edits, and iterate toward a goal autonomously — which means you describe the outcome and it handles the implementation.

Copy and paste this into ChatGPT or Claude with your details filled in. It's a simplified version — the full prompt chain is in the app.
You are helping me write effective Claude Code tasks. Task I want Claude Code to handle: [e.g. "refactor the auth module to use the new token validation library"] Codebase context: [KEY DETAILS — e.g. "Node.js backend, auth is in /src/auth/"] Success criteria: [HOW I'LL KNOW IT WORKED — e.g. "all existing auth tests still pass"] Risk areas: [WHAT TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT — e.g. "don't change the session structure"] Write an effective Claude Code task prompt that: 1. Describes the goal (not the steps) 2. Includes the relevant file paths and constraints 3. Specifies the verification check (how Claude will know it succeeded) → Get the full Claude Code workflow — tasks, iteration loops, and safety checks — in AI School
How it works
- 1
Frame your task as an outcome, not a series of steps
- 2
Include relevant file paths, constraints, and a clear success criterion
- 3
Let Claude Code run — review the diff rather than the process
- 4
Add a verification command so Claude can self-check its own output
