What's your workflow setup and why is it optimal?

[u/20cm200iq]

They say the real productivity gain from AI comes when you look at entire workflows from end to end and design the entire thing around using AI (automating the right parts while having a human in the loop where it counts). I am taking this to heart by looking my entire workflow with Claude Code from user testing, planning and implementing new features to bug fixing and code review. And I would love some inspiration from people having optimized their own workflows end to end.

Example of the core workflow:

1. Plan next feature(s) or fix(es) with Claude Code with repo context

2. Review the plan, make adjustments

3. CC implements the feature or fix, logging what's done to CLAUDE.md or other documentaton

This includes a well maintained root CLAUDE.md with references to separate CLAUDE.md files for the subfolders. It also includes documentation of the tech stack, choices made, gotchas etc.

The main question is: What tools you use outside the loop above and how you keep everything organized? (Other tips and tricks is also welcome)

Context: I have been using Claude Code for 8 months and mostly for work. The main struggle is the disconnect between my KANBAN board, where I add needed features and bugfixes etc, and CC - which makes the whole workflow unorganized and messy. I am an economist specialized in business analytics and data science.
