- use [/loop](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/scheduled-tasks) for recurring monitoring — poll deployments, babysit PRs, check builds (runs up to 3 days)
- use [Ralph Wiggum plugin](https://github.com/shanraisshan/novel-llm-26) for long-running autonomous tasks [![Boris](!/tags/boris-cherny.svg)](https://x.com/bcherny/status/2007179858435281082)

- make it a habit to take screenshots and share with Claude whenever you are stuck with any issue
- use mcp ([Claude in Chrome](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/chrome), [Playwright](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp), [Chrome DevTools](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/chrome-devtools-mcp)) to let claude see chrome console logs on its own
- always ask claude to run the terminal (you want to see logs of) as a background task for better debugging
- [/doctor](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/cli-reference) to diagnose installation, authentication, and configuration issues
- error during compaction can be resolved by using [/model](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/model-config) to select a 1M token model, then running [/compact](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode)
- use a [cross-model](development-workflows/cross-model-workflow/cross-model-workflow.md) for QA — e.g. [Codex](https://github.com/shanraisshan/codex-cli-best-practice) for plan and implementation review
- agentic search (glob + grep) beats RAG — Claude Code tried and discarded vector databases because code drifts out of sync and permissions are complex [![Boris](!/tags/boris-cherny.svg)](https://youtu.be/julbw1JuAz0?t=3095) [![Video](!/tags/video.svg)](https://youtu.be/julbw1JuAz0?t=3095)
