The Day I Changed My Vibe Coding Experience from Chaos to Winning
(and it will only take you 30 Minutes!)

How many hours have you watched Claude Code work while wondering if it would work when it was done?

Picture this: I'm building a sick new feature. I fire up Claude Code in my terminal, ready to cook.

"Add user authentication", I type.

Claude asks to see my code structure. So I dump my entire project into the chat. 2000 lines of chaos. Claude uses most of its brain just trying to understand my mess.

After waiting for 10 minutes of greps and file searches, it finally starts to write code and the context message appears in the bottom right of the window stating there is 21% context left.

I set up for failure and blamed Claude. Turns out, I was the problem.

There just had to be a better way...

The 30-Minute Level Up

After hundreds of hours spent, I started to observe Claude Code performing actions that started to coalesce into a realization, there were ways to control the chaos. Over time this knowledge started cementing into structured approach and the initial project context provided was realized to be the primary succes factor when working with these tools. After developing this system it, transformed everything!

Here's how it looks now:

10:00 AM: Rush to computer with an idea and use ai Claude to create a PRD
10:05 AM: Copy the PRD and template folder to my porject folder
10:20 AM: Start Claude and run the setup command
10:25 AM: Watch it build everything
10:30 AM: Watch Claude Code work with it's new superpowers!

Just like that, the chaos dissapeared and everything was effortless.

What Actually Changed

Finding Files Became Instant

You know that feeling when you can't remember where you put something? Gone.

Good structure means terminal tools like fd and rg become surgical. Claude can reference exact files instead of guessing.

Tests Started Running Themselves

I set up a terminal window that runs tests automatically when I save. It's like having a bodyguard for my code.

Claude sees the test results and adjusts its suggestions. It's like it got smarter, but really, I just gave it better context.

Git Became My Time Machine

My commits went from "stuff" and "more stuff" to actual descriptions. Now I can search my history. Find when I broke something. Travel back in time.

Claude can understand my project's evolution and give better advice.

My Secrets Stayed Secret

No more typing API keys in commands (yeah, I did that). Everything secure in .env files.

Claude never sees sensitive stuff. Neither does my bash history. Win-win.

Claude Became a Genius

This was the biggest win. Instead of dumping entire files into Claude, I learned to give it just what it needs.

Before: dumps 2000 lines "Help me fix this"
After: "Check the login function in auth service"

The resulting workflow was easy and consistent!

Your workflow is transformed into a context efficient masterpiece of coding best practices orchestration you dreamed of building but had no idea how to structure and Claude went from confused to brilliant. Same AI, better context.

CoachNTT's Project Setup Context system works perfectly with CLI workflows. Provide yout PRD copy the files to your project folder and type one command, 20 minutes later, you're set.

You just start winning.
