FAQPage Schema

How do I structure a coding session for feature development and debugging?▼

Structure coding sessions by enforcing an Explore, Plan, Code, Commit (EPCC) workflow to guide planning, reason about edge cases, and move from exploration to commit-ready output.

Can I maintain context across multiple Claude Code sessions?▼

Yes, context management uses built-in prompts and CLAUDE.md templates to maintain and clear context across sessions, ensuring progress tracking remains structured during feature development.

How do I generate structured git commits without automatic execution?▼

The EPCC workflow outputs git commands for manual execution during the commit phase, ensuring no git operations are performed automatically and you retain full control over repository changes.

What is the best way to plan steps and reason about edge cases before coding?▼

Apply the EPCC pattern to standardize feature planning; it guides you through exploration and planning steps to reason about edge cases before generating structured, commit-ready code.

Does the EPCC coding workflow work for refactoring tasks?▼

Yes, the EPCC workflow applies to feature development, refactoring, and debugging within Claude Code sessions, standardizing the entire process from initial exploration to final commit.
