Plain Claude Code doesn’t have enough scaffolding to handle large projects
At a base level, people are “upgrading” their Claude Code with custom skills and subagents - all text files saved in .claude/agents|skills.
You can also use their new tasks primitive to basically run a Ralph-like loop
But at the edges, people are using multiple instances, each handling different aspects in parallel - stuff like Gas Town
Tbf you can still get a lot of mileage out of vanilla Claude Code. But I’ve found that even adding a simple frontend design skill improves the output substantially
