Claude Code Configuration & Workflows

You are using Claude Code to speed up software development. Your team uses it for code generation, refactoring, debugging, and documentation. You need to incorporate it into your development workflow with custom slash commands, CLAUDE.md configurations, and an understanding of when to use plan mode versus direct execution.

You have asked Claude Code to create a PDF report-generation feature. The initial implementation queries the database correctly, but its output has formatting problems: table columns are too narrow and truncate content, dates are displayed without proper formatting, and page-break handling is wrong. You have noticed that these issues interact—altering column widths affects date rendering, and page breaks depend on content height.

What is the most effective approach for iterating toward a working solution?

Explanation

Dependent layout problems should be resolved in dependency order and validated after each change. Correcting column widths first establishes the available space for date formatting; the resulting content height can then be used to tune page breaks. Incremental testing isolates the source of each regression and avoids combining interacting changes into an opaque single update.
