Karpathy's Method to effectively use Claude Code

 

First, set the statusline

/statusline model context effort size 5 hour limit weekly limit


1) Build Spec

Prompt: Interview me to find the real goal of this project. Bias toward small, compartmentalized specs. Make me verify key decisions explicitly so nothing is missed.


2) Verify loop 

Install -  codex plugin for claude code

Prompt: Before you start, define the precise criteria for a great result, use a past example as the format to match, and have a second Al check the final output.


3) Set the Environment

PRompt: Check my CLAUDE.md, my knowledge base, my skills, and my guardrails. For each of the top 5 gaps, name the file, the problem, and the exact fix — and flag which risky actions need a hook so I can't bypass them.
