Episode notes
Set Up Project Context First
- Use Claude Code's /init and Claude MD files to predefine project context so the assistant behaves consistently.
- Spend setup time upfront to load style briefs and project files so Claude returns useful answers quickly.
Dog Metaphor For Claude's Behavior
- Petra compares Claude Code to a dog that sometimes returns the stick and sometimes gets lost in the woods when given tasks.
- You must remind Claude it's not working on a code repo and scope its task explicitly.
Treat Claude Like An Intern
- Treat Claude Code like an intern: give limited, intentional access to only the data it needs.
- Export a constrained calendar window or specific folders instead of handing full account access.
