GitHub Feature Workflow — Plain Steps

A six-phase workflow for building features or fixing bugs with Claude Code. Each phase runs in its own session to keep context clean. Copy-paste the prompts below and fill in your details.

1. Ideate

Goal: Turn a rough idea into a well-written GitHub issue.

Steps

1. Describe your idea and chat about it
2. Answer Claude’s clarifying questions
3. Let Claude research official docs
4. Create the GitHub issue

Prompt

I have the following idea and I want you to
create a new GitHub issue for it.
Ask me any clarifying questions.
When planning, always do a research.
But only look at the official documentation
for the packages we use
(not blog posts or unofficial GitHub repos).
Always give implementation suggestions.

I don't want you to plan the implementation
as such. The plan is to create a new GitHub
issue for my idea so another dev can work
on it.

2. Plan

Goal: Read a GitHub issue and produce a concrete development plan.
