AI-Assisted Product Engineering: Orchestrating Claude Code Across the Software Development Lifecycle

Most LLM coding tools live inside a single editor session. They suggest, complete, and refactor inside one file at a time. That is useful, but it is not where real product engineering happens. Real engineering spans ticket breakdown, cross-repository implementation, code review, merge request management, and the knowledge that has to survive between sessions. None of that fits in one tool window. I built a system that orchestrates Claude Code across that full lifecycle. It has been running daily for months.
