Tip: Claude Code Problem-Solving Methodology at 668K Lines — Plan Mode Separation Is the Key
A practitioner managing a 668K-line codebase with Claude Code shared a methodology that emphasizes strict separation of research/planning from implementation using Plan Mode. The core insight: the most common failure mode isn't Claude writing bad code — it's Claude solving the wrong problem because you jumped straight to implementation. The recommended workflow: (1) research in Plan Mode to understand existing code, (2) design the approach while still in Plan Mode, (3) switch to implementation only after the plan is solid, (4) verify against the plan post-implementation. This mirrors the VSDD pattern but applied to everyday workflows.
