Can someone explain how to actually use Claude for coding projects>
I give it enough context that I’m used to giving human level developers and it’s been quite useful. But if you’re new to programming you probably don’t have those docs in mind to give to language model. Since you are learning, try asking GPT4 to write you specs and standard code requirements like a CONTRIBUTION.md and USAGE.md and README.md, etc. Especially a CHANGELOG.md Once you have these specs sorted out with GPT4o, saved them as a file and upload them to Claude. Then you can work out issues with GPT4o and when you have alignment on how to solve the problem, then instruct Claude to execute the plan. There’s no reason you couldn’t do this in two different Claude threads by the way — one being a product manager and the other being a software engineer— however revisions and debugging is a chore with Claude due to the message limits. It’s much more efficient to work out problems with ChatGPT and then go execute on Claude.ai. You can use the CHANGELOG.md to help communicate updates and give context between the two services. As I don’t know empirically if this helps but I always start with: “Using the chain-of-thought of a Engineer” and then list out details about the files I want it to check.” Here’s a simple example Using the same chain-of-thought as a Game Developer, you’ll work on a simple 2D platformer game using Python. Key skills: Python, Pygame, basic understanding of game loops and event handling. Responsibilities: - Develop core game mechanics (e.g., player movement, collision detection) - Implement level design with simple platforms and obstacles Review: `Game_Design_Document.md` and `Code_Structure.md` for guidelines. Ask questions after reviewing. We’ll update `SPEC-001.md` based on playtesting feedback. Main task: Create `Level_1.py` with fully functional game mechanics. Hope this helps. More on reddit.com

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Best way to code in Python using Claude?
June 24, 2024 -

A bit of background, I have no experience in code or computer science from school at all. These LLMs have made it possible for me to run code by putting my ideas in as prompts.

Right now I am running a machine learning model and I run into issues with debugging, normally I can get it solved but it’ll take a few times using the LLMs. I have seen that there’s an API for Claude and I was wondering if that would give me better outputs for coding than the web browser version of Claude would? My main focus is on increasing the efficiency of my coding by using the API vs web browser.

Please go to Plans & Billing to upgrade or purchase credits.'

Anthropic has officially released a Python SDK for Claude Code, and it’s built specifically with developers in mind. This makes it way easier to bring Claude’s code generation and tool use capabilities into your own Python projects

What it offers:

  • Tool use support

  • Streaming output

  • Async & sync support

  • File support

  • Built-in chat structure

GitHub repo: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-sdk-python

I'd love to hear your ideas on how you plan to put this to use
