- Exploring unknown codebases
- Large-scale refactoring
- Security audits
- Framework migrations
- Performance optimization
**Key Topics**:
- Quick decision matrix
- Complete feature comparison
- 5 combined workflows
- Performance benchmarks
- Common pitfalls
- Tool selection cheatsheet

## 🎯 Development Workflows
### [Plan-Driven Development](./plan-driven.md)
Structure complex tasks with planning mode before execution.
**When to use**: Multi-step features, architectural changes, uncertainty about approach
### [TDD with Claude](./tdd-with-claude.md)
Test-Driven Development workflow: write tests first, implement after.
**When to use**: Critical functionality, regression prevention, API design
### [Spec-First Development](./spec-first.md)
Write specifications before code for better requirements clarity.
**When to use**: Team collaboration, complex features, documentation-first projects
### [Iterative Refinement](./iterative-refinement.md)
Improve code through multiple refinement cycles.
**When to use**: Quality improvements, performance optimization, code cleanup
### [Skeleton Projects](./skeleton-projects.md) ⭐ NEW
Use existing battle-tested repositories as scaffolding for new projects.
**When to use**: Starting new projects, standardizing team patterns, rapid prototyping from proven foundations
---
## 🎨 Design & Content
### [Design to Code](./design-to-code.md)
Convert design mockups (Figma, wireframes) into working code.
**When to use**: Frontend development, UI implementation, design system work
### [PDF Generation](./pdf-generation.md)
Generate professional PDFs using Quarto/Typst with Claude Code.
**When to use**: Reports, documentation, whitepapers, technical documents
### [TTS Setup](./tts-setup.md)
Configure Text-to-Speech for Claude Code responses (Agent Vibes integration).
**When to use**: Audio feedback, accessibility, hands-free coding
---
## 🔬 Code Exploration
### [Exploration Workflow](./exploration-workflow.md)
Systematically explore and understand unfamiliar codebases.
**When to use**: New projects, legacy code, documentation gaps
**Related**: See [Search Tools Mastery](./search-tools-mastery.md) for advanced multi-tool exploration strategies.
