5 Claude Code Workflows I Use Every Day (For the Boring 80%)

People keep asking me what my Claude Code "prompts" are. I don't really have prompts. I have workflows. Small, boring, repeatable things that each save me 10-30 minutes, and at the end of a day add up to why I can keep shipping around a day job. Here are five I use almost every session. 1. "Before you edit, grep." When I hand Claude Code a task that touches something broader than a single file - a rename, a pattern change, a refactor - I start the session with one directive: Before you edit anything, grep for all occurrences of X. Show me the list. I'll tell you which ones to change.
