    Day 3: Planning

    Learn how to break massive tasks into context-window-sized phases using PRDs, multi-phase plans, and tracer bullets so Claude Code can tackle features that would otherwise overwhelm a single session.

    What You Will Learn

    • How to Tackle Massive Tasks — Why large features break down in a single context window and the strategy for splitting them up
    • Write Great PRDs with This Skill — Use a PRD-writing skill to have Claude Code interview you and produce a detailed product requirements document
    • Split Features Across Multiple Context Windows — Turn a PRD into a multi-phase plan that distributes work across multiple sessions
    • What Are Tracer Bullets — Discover the tracer bullet concept from The Pragmatic Programmer and why vertical slices beat horizontal layers
    • Use Tracer Bullets in Our Multi Phase Plan — Apply tracer bullets to create vertical-slice phases that wire up the full stack incrementally
    • Executing Our Multi Phase Plan — Walk through implementing a multi-phase plan one phase at a time with Claude Code
