◇ Could this help me?

Yes: This is the most rigorous production workflow pattern in this batch. The key insight, write specs in Claude Desktop first, THEN have Claude Code convert to GitHub issues, separates planning from execution and creates a reviewable audit trail. Directly applicable to serious projects.

✦ Walkthrough+10 xp / step

Write a detailed tech spec in Claude Desktop (Opus 4.8), not Claude Code, covering: what you're building, edge cases, data flow, UI/UX.
Connect Claude Code to GitHub. Ask it to convert the spec into an Epic with Issues and Sub-Issues.
Execute issue by issue. Review each before moving to the next. Catch problems before they compound.

Before writing any code: let's write a detailed technical spec for this feature. Cover: what we're building, edge cases, data flow, UI/UX decisions, and success criteria. Write it as a full markdown doc. Once approved, we'll convert it to GitHub issues.
