# Agentic Development Patterns

Agentic development is a paradigm where Claude Code operates as an autonomous agent that can read your entire codebase, understand architecture, plan changes, and execute them — all with minimal guidance.

Unlike traditional autocomplete or chat-based coding assistants, an agentic workflow means Claude takes initiative: it explores files, identifies patterns, proposes solutions, and implements them across multiple files simultaneously.

Tips for Effective Agentic Use:

  • 1.Write a thorough CLAUDE.md — The more context Claude has about your project, the better its autonomous decisions will be.
  • 2.Start with plan mode — For complex tasks, let Claude analyze first before making changes. Use claude --plan.
  • 3.Be specific about constraints — Tell Claude what NOT to change. Boundaries lead to better results.
  • 4.Use git as your safety net — Commit before major changes. You can always roll back.
  • 5.Review changes incrementally — Check diffs after each task rather than at the end of a long session.

claude --plan

plan-mode-example

$ claude --plan

> I need to add user authentication to this Next.js app.

> Please analyze the codebase and propose an approach.

Claude will:

1. Read your project structure

2. Identify existing patterns

3. Propose implementation steps

4. Wait for your approval

5. Execute the plan

WHY PLAN MODE?

Plan mode is essential for tasks that touch multiple files or require architectural decisions. It prevents Claude from making premature changes and gives you a chance to steer the approach before any code is written. Think of it as a design review with your AI collaborator.

git worktree --strategy

git-worktree-strategy

Git worktrees let you check out multiple branches simultaneously in different directories. Combined with Claude Code, this enables true parallel development — working on multiple features at the same time, each with its own Claude session.

worktree-setup.sh

# Create worktrees for parallel development

git worktree add ../project-feature-a feature-a

git worktree add ../project-feature-b feature-b

# Run Claude in each worktree

cd ../project-feature-a && claude

cd ../project-feature-b && claude

WORKFLOW:

  • worktree-a/ — Claude builds the auth system
  • worktree-b/ — Claude builds the dashboard UI
  • main/ — You review and merge completed work

# Case Study: Mulinga Farm Management System

A real-world production system built almost entirely with Claude Code — the Mulinga farm management platform manages over 26,000+ coffee plants across multiple farms in Kenya.

The system was developed using a full-stack architecture: Next.js for the frontend, PostgreSQL for the database, and deployed on production infrastructure — demonstrating that Claude Code can handle enterprise-grade applications, not just toy projects.

Technical Highlights:

  • STACK = Next.js + TypeScript + PostgreSQL + Tailwind CSS
  • SCALE = 26,000+ coffee plants tracked and managed
  • METHOD = Agentic development with Claude Code
  • DEPLOY = Production-grade with real users

This project demonstrates that Claude Code is not just for prototypes. With proper planning, clear CLAUDE.md configuration, and iterative development, you can build and deploy complex production systems.
