It is rather amusing to me that this is the sum total of a prompt needed to get Claude Code to take a task from my task system, find the code, look at the production database, debug the problem, propose a solution, update task status for review, test it, and push the fix to production.
Prompting has gone from memorize prompts and articulate myself -> assemble a bunch of skills in a single line:
/bizcoach-task bctask_gdn03rem36apsaoax7vei8qzy /prod-data /team-debug
Creating CLIs for the tools I use everyday (bizcoach and prod DB access) + custom skills to guide CC on all of this has been such an unlock - not just for code, but also for ingesting data from all the com channels - client regularly WhatsApp me bug reports (so I created whatsapp-cli to access WhatsApp - see https://github.com/josiahbryan/whatsapp-cli), then talk about the problems in meetings (so I pull transcripts via read-ai MCP), and also file bugs in ClickUp (so I use composio-cli to talk to ClickUp), and email me screenshots even (composio-cli -> Gmail) - all orchestrated by ClaudeCode + my task app. ... then I just tell another CC window to pull the new task and do it while I go eat lunch.
People used to talk about the 10x engineer. I'd wager I'm getting up to 100x, given that I no longer need 4x juniors + Project Manager + 2x seniors to run all this - payroll used to be $12K/month for me, now it's < $1K/month - and AI spend on tokens for coding is < $3K (Cursor Pro + Claude Pro + extra usages/overages). Fun times we're living in!
