I usually use the command-line mode of the Claude extension for VS Code. First, I hash out the requirements and solution in detail. Then I outline a plan and break down the tasks, categorizing them into those that can be run in parallel and those that have to be executed sequentially. The parallelizable tasks get handed off to Claude Agent. Typically, the agent only handles coding work, while all builds are centralized in Claude itself to prevent conflicts. This parallel task execution approach is super efficient and saves me a ton of time.
