My professional workflow with Claude Code goes as follows.

I call it "moonwalk" because, when throwing away the intermediate vibe-coded prototype code in the middle, it feels like walking backwards while looking forward.

- Check out a spike branch

- Vibe code until prototype feels right.

- Turn prototype into markdown specification

- Throw away vibe'd code, keep specification

- Rebase specification into main, check out main

- Feed specification to our XP/TDD agents

- Wait, review a few short iterations if any

- Ship to production

This allows me to get the best of vibe-coding (exploring, fast iterating and dialing-in on the product experience) and writing production-grade code (using our existing XP practices via dedicated CC sub-agents and skills.)
