Build Something With It
Reading about a model teaches you less than watching it finish a project. Claude is strong at end-to-end work when the scope is narrow and the infrastructure is already in place, so a small build is the fastest way to see where its judgment is good and where you still have to steer. antics is one option: it supplies the rooms, live state sync and hosting a browser game needs, so Claude can make multiplayer games you can share by link in a single session. Once you have done one, the Claude Code workflow guide explains why planning first made the difference.
