Use Claude Cowork to build a base scalable Architecture for the offline billing software. That includes folder structure, edge case scenarios and db design.
How do I use Claude Code?
Once I get a base project structure and full plan. Then I start work on claude code. Go to Claude Code -> select new conversion -> select project folder created by Claude Cowork.
Ask Claude Code to Analyze the Current folder structure and create an implementation plan. Once the implementation plan is created I will check the plan. If the plan needs changes, ask Claude Code to make it. Once the plan is finalized I start a Coding implementation. Follow each step to complete the software development. Once full software gets ready, we will deploy in the hosting platform that configuration and build error i use a Claude Code to do it.
