How I Plan, Build, and Run Loops with Claude Code in 40 Minutes | Thariq Shihipar

<p>Thariq works on the Claude Code team, and I’ve wanted to see how he builds for a long time. In our episode, he showed how to use /goal to keep Claude working, how he plans with Claude to remove unknowns before building, and how he runs a team of agents in Slack. He also shared why his team cut Claude Code’s system prompt by 80% and how he creates polished launch videos with Claude.</p><p><br></p><p>Thariq and I talked about:</p><p>(00:00) Goals, loops, and workflows to make Claude work longer</p><p>(04:48) Live demo: Creating a polished video with one prompt</p><p>(08:17) Plan by removing unknowns before you build</p><p>(14:32) How Anthropic uses HTML artifacts for planning</p><p>(18:35) Running parallel Claude tasks through Slack</p><p>(27:34) Using separate creator and verifier sub-agents</p><p>(31:08) How Thariq stays focused while Claude works in parallel</p><p>(34:07) Why Anthropic cut Claude Code’s system prompt by 80%</p><p>(37:01) How to become more technical when AI writes the code</p><p><br></p><p>Thanks to our sponsors:</p><p>Riverside: All-in-one AI studio for podcasts and video https://creators.riverside.com/PeterYang</p><p>Linear: The AI agent platform for modern teams https://linear.app/behind-the-craft</p><p>Wispr Flow: 4x faster than typing with your voice https://ref.wisprflow.ai/peteryang</p><p><br></p><p>📌 Get the takeaways: https://creatoreconomy.so/p/how-i-plan-build-and-run-loops-with-claude-code-thariq-shihipar</p><p><br></p><p>📌 Get my personal AI OS with useful AI skills, $270 in AI tool credits, live monthly workshops, and courses on Hermes and Codex agents: https://www.behindthecraft.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Where to find Thariq:</p><p>LinkedIn: https://x.com/trq212</p><p>Website: https://www.thariq.io/</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to this channel - more interviews coming soon!</p>
