Description

Scaffolding for the seven docs every Claude Code project benefits from: master-plan, design-guidelines, user-journeys, implementation-plan, tasks, tech-stack, and a research folder. Fork the repo and you're set up before you write a line of code.

Problem it solves

Claude Code is only as good as the context you give it. Starting from a blank folder means starting without that context — which is how you end up overengineering on day one and rewriting on day three.

Why I built it

I've worked with AI since 2023, built my first GPT from scratch in 2024, and spent the last year shipping with Lovable and Claude — including migrating MadKudu's website from Webflow to Lovable. The Playbook combines what I've learned with frameworks from Lazar Jovanovic and Mike Taylor (Every's Build a Production-Ready App course).
