And just like that Ralph Wiggum is dead Claude Code can now create its own project tasks and manage itself This is the next step towards Claude being a 24/7 autonomous agent Lesson from this: spend more time on the planning phase. Have Claude build as many detailed tasks as it can. The more time you spend on this, the more time you'll save later having to prompt Claude, because it will just be able to manage itself for hours

Best practices for Claude Code - Verify Outputs Early: Always give Claude verification tools like tests, screenshots, or expected results to catch errors - think self-checking AI for reliable code. - Workflow: Explore > Plan > Code > Commit: Use Plan Mode to research first, then
