I chat with Claude about viability, capability, existing solutions, alternative approaches, etc.
This helps me get an idea of what we’re doing. I get pushback and have to be clear and Opus is good at asking questions.
Then I get it to write a set of documents for Claude Code describing the vision, the solution, the technical choices, the testing plan, the validation approach, how to share with colleagues, future ideas and a table of contents.
Great approach, since you are following a pre-defined set of approaches, have you thought of building an agent for it? or do you have a prompt which helps you with getting the relevant answer?
I have a projects folder in the app which has a set of instructions - bot mostly what documents to follow. It works well enough but you're right, I should push it a bit more.
It's great that we can iterate on the solutions and they become general.

I tried both ways. Letting design emerge incrementally adds vibe-coded technical debt.
At minimum prepare project specs with features as .md file. I found claude to be useful for this task.
If you’re using Cursor, pick a template from here. https://cursor.directory/rules
I agree. have you tried any framework such as spec-kit by Microsoft to generate feature specs?
