In this guide, Yifan explains 6 Claude Code workflows, breaking down its essential components and advanced functionalities. You'll discover how to automate repetitive tasks, maintain clarity in complex projects, and foster seamless collaboration across teams. Whether you're looking to integrate version control with Git, customize permissions for efficiency, or master advanced commands for intricate workflows, this guide will equip you with actionable insights to enhance productivity and code quality. As you read on, consider this: what could your development process look like if every tool and feature worked in perfect harmony? Claude Code Workflow Guide Streamlining Testing for Reliable Development Testing is a cornerstone of dependable software development, and Claude Code offers robust support for integrating testing into your workflow. By embedding automated tests during the prototyping phase, you can ensure functionality and reliability from the outset. Claude can assist in generating or executing tests, making it easier to verify code behavior. Incorporating frameworks such as unit testing or integration testing tools further enhances precision and efficiency. To maintain consistent code quality, automate pre-commit checks like linting, compiling, and running tests. These checks help identify issues early in the development lifecycle, reducing the risk of errors in production. By streamlining testing, you create a stable foundation for iterative development and long-term project success. Optimizing Memory Management for Clarity Efficient memory management is essential for maintaining clarity and consistency in your projects. Claude Code uses a ` file to store project context, rules, and guidelines. Regularly updating this file using the `/init` command ensures that Claude remains aligned with the current state of your project. However, it is crucial to avoid overloading the file with unnecessary details, as this can overwhelm the system and degrade performance. Focus on including only essential guidelines and context to keep the workflow streamlined. By managing memory effectively, you can ensure that Claude delivers accurate and relevant responses, even in complex projects. Complete Claude Code Workflow Watch this video on YouTube. Unlock more potential in Claude Code Workflow by reading previous articles we have written. Effective Context Handling for Accurate Outputs Managing context is critical to making sure that Claude provides accurate and relevant outputs. After completing a task, use commands like `/clear` or `/compact` to remove outdated or irrelevant information. This practice prevents confusion and keeps the system focused on current objectives. If you need to revisit previous discussions, the `claude d-res` command allows you to navigate back to specific points in the conversation. While Claude can assist with context management, it is advisable to handle version control manually to maintain consistency across iterations. This approach ensures that your codebase remains organized and free from discrepancies, even as projects evolve. Customizing Permissions for Streamlined Workflows Claude Code's permission settings offer flexibility to tailor workflows according to your needs. Modes such as read-only, auto-accept edits, and plan mode provide varying levels of control, allowing you to adapt the system to different scenarios. For example, the 'dangerously skip permissions' mode can accelerate workflows but should only be used in controlled environments to minimize risks. Adjusting default permission settings can further enhance efficiency by reducing unnecessary prompts and interruptions. By customizing permissions, you can create a smoother, more streamlined development process. Integrating Version Control with Git Integrating Git with Claude Code simplifies version control and ensures that your codebase remains organized. Automating pre-commit checks—such as compiling, linting, and running tests—helps maintain a stable repository. Additionally, Claude can generate commit messages based on the context of your changes, saving time and effort during the development process. This integration supports iterative development by providing a clear history of changes and facilitating collaboration among team members. By using version control effectively, you can maintain a clean and reliable codebase. Enhancing Collaboration Across Teams Claude Code supports asynchronous collaboration, making it an ideal tool for distributed teams. Integration with platforms like GitHub enables efficient pull request reviews and issue-based changes. Customizing prompts for concise and relevant code reviews ensures that feedback is actionable and easy to implement. Automated workflows, such as continuous integration and testing, further enhance collaboration by reducing manual effort and making sure consistency. These features allow teams to work effectively across time zones, improving overall productivity and project outcomes. Using Utility Features for Productivity Claude Code includes a variety of utility features designed to boost productivity and simplify workflows. Key functionalities include: Adding memory rules with the `#` command to maintain project guidelines. Executing bash commands using `!` for quick terminal operations. Adjusting problem-solving intensity with keywords like 'think' or 'ultra think.' Undoing terminal inputs with `Ctrl + -` for error correction. Analyzing images by pasting them directly into the interface for visual insights. For projects involving multiple repositories, referencing additional directories can streamline workflows. Non-interactive mode is particularly useful for generating quick outputs without verbose logs, making it ideal for rapid prototyping and debugging. Using Advanced Commands for Complex Workflows Advanced commands in Claude Code simplify complex workflows and enhance efficiency. For example: Use `claude d-res` to revisit specific conversation points and maintain continuity. Resume previous discussions seamlessly with `claude d-continue` for ongoing tasks. Streamline debugging and troubleshooting with non-interactive modes to focus on outputs. These commands, when combined with structured workflows and effective context management, enable you to fully use Claude's capabilities. By mastering these advanced features, you can tackle complex projects with confidence and precision. Maximizing Claude Code's Potential A structured and strategic approach to Claude Code can significantly enhance your development workflow.

A good day for AI, a rough one for Elon Musk
Hi from Yifan, your #techasia host this week, sending this newsletter from the unusually busy Silicon Valley. Summer is normally a quieter time as people go on vacation and enjoy some breeze. But not this year. More U.S. trade deals are being announced and Big Tech earnings season kicked off this week. But what excites Silicon Valley the most is probably the government's long-awaited AI action plan unveiled on Wednesday. The 28 pages of guidelines detail how U.S. President Donald Trump's administration plans to govern AI. It's a long document, so if you want to save some time, here's the gist: no regulation, no "wokeness," more exports. Silicon Valley had feared U.S. regulators might throw up roadblocks in front of the fast-moving technology revolution, as the European Union did with the EU AI Act. But they can breathe a sigh of relief now. Trump assured the companies that the federal government will not get in their way as long as they can beat China in the AI race -- he even said he would block state-level regulations on AI. Trump also said he will further relax some export rules so that other countries will buy more tech products from the U.S. and build their AI future on American hardware and software. The action plan doesn't address copyright infringement, misinformation, deepfakes and many other key issues with AI, but judging by the share prices of Nvidia and other AI-related companies on Wednesday, it at least makes investors happy. Speaking of happy, one thing Trump is not entirely pleased with when it comes to artificial intelligence is its name. "I don't like the name artificial anything, because it's not artificial. It's genius. It's pure genius," Trump said of AI on Wednesday, suggesting the technology be renamed. But what the president dislikes even more is "woke" AI. Trump said his administration will make sure the American people do not have "woke Marxist lunacy" in their AI, starting by signing an executive order that directs the federal government not to use AI to generate output that embraces DEI, or diversity, equity and inclusion. AI with American characteristics While much of Trump's U.S. AI action plan is focused on competing with China, the day may still come when Washington and Beijing are far more aligned on AI governance. During a keynote speech on Wednesday, Trump said the U.S. has to "be able to play by the same set of rules" with China if it wants to win the AI race, Nikkei Asia's Yifan Yu reports. Trump specifically said he wants the AI industry to be more patriotic, similar to what Beijing has demanded from its own tech sector. "Perhaps most importantly, winning the AI race will demand a new spirit of patriotism and national loyalty in Silicon Valley," Trump said. "We need U.S. technology companies to be all in for America. We want you to put America first. You have to do it, that's all we ask." The AI action plan repeatedly mentions that AI models should reflect "American values." China has language in its generative AI regulations emphasizing that content produced through the use of generative AI must reflect "Socialist Core Values" -- the governing credo of the Chinese Communist Party. Value adding Top multinationals like McDonald's and UK insurer Bupa are joining giants such as Goldman Sachs and Tesco to set up back offices in India to drive their in-house innovation in artificial intelligence, writes the Financial Times' Krishn Kaushik and Chris Kay in Bengaluru. As many non-tech companies struggle to compete for hires in the red-hot market for AI in their home countries, India offers an opportunity to recruit tech talent at scale. Groups are doing so by setting up so-called global capability centers that can perform a wide range of big data-related tasks. Analysts predict these centers, which employ nearly 2 million people today, can reach $100 billion in revenue by 2030, up from $65 billion revenue last year. For India, this presents a step up the value chain, as these back offices move from providing support services to performing core competitive functions that directly affect companies' profitability. In search of stability South Korea's new government under President Lee Jae Myung is eager to issue won-backed stablecoins -- digital tokens pegged to traditional currencies -- hoping to nurture the country's digital asset market and give it a prominent place globally, Nikkei Asia's Kim Jaewon and Stella Yifan Xie write. Seoul's move comes amid a broader battle surrounding the crypto technology's geopolitical influence, following an aggressive push for dollar-pegged coins by the U.S. Earlier this month, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the GENIUS Act, which sets up a federal framework to regulate dollar-pegged stablecoins. The bill is being sent to Trump, who is expected to sign it into law. Such developments have in turn brightened investor sentiment toward digital assets, lifting the price of bitcoin, one of the most-traded cryptocurrencies, above $123,000, an all-time high. A rough patch of road Attending an AI summit in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, Trump gave shout-outs to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and other tech leaders present at the event. But one noticeable absence was Tesla CEO Elon Musk. That could be because Musk was busy answering questions at Tesla earning's call on Wednesday afternoon, during which he warned investors that there might be more "rough quarters" ahead as the U.S. EV giant tries to transform into an AI and robotics company, starting with the recent launch of robotaxis, Nikkei Asia's Yifan Yu reports. It could also be because of the falling out between Musk and Trump. The once-hailed "first buddy" tech billionaire has left his post as a special advisor in the White House and engaged in several virtual shouting matches with the president since. At the same time, Huang appears to have become Trump's new favorite tech rock star. The Nvidia CEO is also becoming a more prolific figure in geopolitics, as Beijing looks for a business leader who could replace Musk as a bridge to Trump, Nikkei Asia's Ken Moriyasu and Yifan Yu write.

Advice, practice games with Levon, Anish, Murzin came handy for Divya
1 2 Nagpur: Divya Deshmukh's 74-move win over World Women's No. 1 Hou Yifan has once again brought the Nagpur girl into the limelight. During the seven-day World Rapid and Blitz Team Championship in London, the 19-year-old International Master (IM), representing Hexamind Chess Club, secured as many as three medals — two bronze and a silver. Speaking exclusively to TOI, Divya shared her experience of playing alongside the world's best players, including Levon Aronian, Murzin Volodar, Anish Giri, and Vidit Gujrathi. Divya said, "The best moments were definitely the blitz knockouts and also the entire team spirit. Everyone was really friendly, and everyone got along really well, so it took away the pressure to perform. Levon, Anish, and Murzin helped me with advice, practice games etc, which was super nice of them. And, of course, the banter." Despite suffering a defeat against Yifan in the first leg of the round-robin semifinal, Divya remained positive and came back stronger to prevail over her experienced opponent. In the second leg of the semifinal, Divya utilised her opening advantage with the white pieces well and made her moves faster to take control of the clock for her first-ever victory over Yifan. Explaining her strategy for getting the better of Yifan, Divya said, "I knew I had to go all out. I would have been automatically scared if the thought of playing against the World Champion had crept into my mind. So, it did not matter whom I was playing against; I focused on the game, and I only knew that I had to win the game." On her future plans, Divya said that she is preparing for the forthcoming World Cup. She added, "I am focused, and my preparations are going well. I will give my best and will try to bring medals in future tournaments."

Tesla chases robotaxi rivals and China goes local for auto chips
Hello from Yifan in California, your #techasia host this week. I've been thinking a lot about the future of my job ever since Google's I/O event in May, where the U.S. tech giant laid out an ambitious plan to define what search will look like in the future. Some users in the U.S. may have already seen the roll-out of AI mode, a new segment on the search page that directs them to a ChatGPT-like interface where an AI assistant provides the answers they were looking for. Google is actively nudging users to try out this new mode of search, and it's not hard to imagine that it will eventually replace the current Google search box altogether. While Google and other AI companies often reference the original sources of information in AI-generated answers as footnotes with a link, I doubt many users click on them. The reporting I and my fellow journalists do everyday is used and will continue to be used in AI search results, but with fewer and fewer readers reading the original article. Newsrooms will suffer greatly -- if not completely disappear -- due to this new age of search. But it's not only a problem for newsrooms. How, for example, can we make sure that AI-generated answers are not misinterpreting the results of nuanced, carefully thought-out investigative reporting? Will misinformation and bias become even more prevalent? Some might say this way of thinking is too alarmist, and the future of AI dictating what information we get is still far away from us today. Well, it's not. AI, in many ways, will be a story similar to robotaxis. There were highs and there were lows for the self-driving industry, when over-optimistic projections led to utter disappointment. But now, robotaxis are becoming a reality, with Waymo, and many Chinese companies already rolling out fare-charging driverless taxi services in some of the biggest cities in the world. In fact, I am writing this newsletter from the backseat of a Waymo car in San Francisco, where I'll be meeting a robotics startup founder who believes robotaxis are only the start of the "physical AI" revolution that will eventually replace most human workers. I took my first robotaxi test-ride seven years ago and since then have witnessed how the industry improved itself, one small step at a time, to the point that a futuristic fantasy is now on the cusp of becoming a new reality for transportation. The incremental changes that AI brings to society will eventually accumulate in a similar way, culminating in a fundamental transformation. Your move, Tesla As Tesla prepares for its long-awaited robotaxi debut in Austin,Texas, this week, all eyes are on the U.S. EV giant to see if Elon Musk can deliver on the vision he promised last year. But the U.S. EV giant might already be falling behind its U.S. and Chinese peers in the driverless taxi race. Waymo's rollout in San Francisco has been so successful that its orders have surpassed Lyft as the second-most popular ride-hailing service in the city. In China, meanwhile, several companies already have cars on the road. Baidu operates a fleet of around 1,000 Apollo Go robotaxis, which provided more than 1.4 million rides in the first quarter. has a fleet of over 300 robotaxis and aims to expand it to 1,000 vehicles by the end of this year and 2,000-3,000 by the end of 2026. WeRide's fleet numbers around 400, Nikkei Asia's Cissy Zhou and Yifan Yu report. While the focus now for both the U.S. and Chinese players is to ramp up their service in their home markets, they will soon go head-to-head in overseas markets like Europe and the Middle East, as many have already started laying out the groundwork for expansion through local partnerships. Not so fast A $35 billion merger between U.S. semiconductor giants Synopsys and Ansys is facing delays from China's antitrust regulator, write the Financial Times' Zijing Wu and Cheng Leng. The deal, already approved in the U.S. and Europe, was expected to close this month. but Beijing's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) has postponed its decision. This hold-up comes as U.S.-China trade tensions escalate, with recent U.S. restrictions on chip design software sales to China. While some sources link the delay to these geopolitical factors, others suggest the deal's complexity is the primary cause. An approval could still come through if Synopsys addresses SAMR's concerns. The merger has a "drop dead clause" that specifies the deal must be completed by Jan. 15, 2026. Homegrown hardware Chinese automakers including SAIC Motor, Changan, Great Wall Motor, BYD, Li Auto and Geely, are preparing to launch models equipped with 100% homemade chips, with at least two brands aiming to start mass production as early as 2026, Nikkei Asia's Cissy Zhou, Cheng Ting-Fang and Lauly Li report. These efforts are part of Beijing's ambitious vision for increasing the country's self-reliance in chips amid intensifying tensions with the U.S. The project to transition to 100% Chinese auto chips is shepherded by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), which regularly calls on automakers, particularly the state-owned ones, to conduct self-assessments of their domestic chip adoption rates. The latest policy target is to use 100% self-developed and made automotive chips by 2027, which is a significant acceleration of the government's previous target of having domestic automakers using 25% homemade chips this year. Nuclear heats up With the rising energy demand driven by AI and data centers, nuclear energy is increasingly becoming a topic of interest for both the public and private sector. Nikkei's Tomohiro Ebuchi, Ryuto Imao and Seishi Minowa report that Japan and the U.K. will collaborate on nuclear fusion, a technology that promises to be safer and release more energy than the current technology used in nuclear reactors. Hiroshi Masuko, a senior official in Japan's science ministry, and Kerry McCarthy, parliamentary undersecretary of state at the U.K.'s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, are set to sign a memorandum of cooperation in London on Thursday. The partnership will combine the U.K.'s remote-controlled robot technology and Japan's manufacturing capabilities in a bid to achieve a viable demonstration by the 2030s. The two countries will collaborate on research and development, shared use of facilities, human resource development, and establishment of safety regulations. Industry groups from both countries are also hammering out a memorandum on cooperation. Welcome to the Tech Latest podcast.
