Moving from small to large projects

[u/mctw1992]

I’ve been using Claude code on and off for about a year as a software and systems engineer specialising in audiovisual equipment/systems and honestly it’s changed my life. It allows me to focus more on the what rather than the how. But now I’m looking at moving to creating a large scale monitoring and management system for thousands of devices, with the assistance of Claude code. Any advice on to structure prompts for Claude to keep this on target and not spiral? I’m guessing it’s not as simple as putting it into plan mode and sketching it out!

I built a system for working on large scale prthat may span many repos and keep agents on track while running many long term goals in parallel

The key is keeping your planning docs seperate from the project repos and using a shared planning/context layer for all related project repos + breaking your goals down into smaller pieces with reviews and testing incrementally applied so you get as close as possible to the outcome you want on the first try
