Building a Personal AI Factory

It’s not about proof: it’s that at this point I’m a fairly heavy Claude Code user and I’d like to up my game, but I’m also not so up on many of these details that I can just figure out how to give this a try just from the description of it. I’m already doing plan-up-front workflows with just Claude, but haven’t figured out some of this more advanced stuff.

I have two MCPs installed (playwright and context7) but it never seems like Claude decides to reach for them on its own.

I definitely appreciate why you’re not posting code, as you said in another comment.

Not even when you add ‘memories’ that tell it to always use those tools in certain situations?

My admonitions to always run repomix at the start of coding, and always run the build command before crying victory seem to be followed pretty well anyway.

I have not done that, maybe that's the missing bit. Thanks!

What do you tell Claude to do with repomix? Get an overview into the context?

Yeah, it’s just a shortcut to it exploring the code for half an hour before doing something. At least it seems to make its searching more targeted.
