I'm probably a bit late to the party. But I just want to tell my short story, because I'm amazed. I have several open source project and especially one that I use every day. It's not a project with huge user-base, but there are some. Some of the user has posted issues, which I have wanted to take care of, but time, is always an issue. Debugging, trying to get into issues other users expirence while I don't, is always harder to get grip of.
So, today I fired up Claude Code, told it about my project and during 2h (including manual review of the generated code), I've fixed several issues. I even managed to get in new features I have wanted as well!
https://github.com/Lallassu/gorss is now v0.5 thanks to this.

I tried to focus on staying on the subject. For example when I wanted to embed the themes to create a theme switcher ad-hoc and that was done, it could easily generate some new themes for me without any issue at all.
After every edit, I did a `git diff`, modified if needed (using vim), then ran the program and tested it out.
My experience is that it's always easier to fix things fast/correct if you already know the codebase and can give hints to the agent.
