I have figured out the best workflow

ever for Claude Code. After testing all

15 possible ways you can be using Claude

Code, the way I'm about to show you is

the fastest, best, and most efficient.

Whether you're brand new to Claude Code

or a seasoned vet, if you stick with me

until the end, you will be building

faster with Claude Code than you ever

have before. Let's get into it. So, this

is Ghosty. What you're looking at here

might not look like much, but this is by

far the best way to be using Claude

Code. Let me show you why. So, we've

covered this in a prior video, but

there's a few popular ways to use Claude

Code. Whether it's the extension inside

Cursor or VS Code, whether it's the

desktop app, whether it's the CLI in VS

Code. Up until now, the CLI in Visual

Studio Code was the best. Visual Studio

Code gave it a really nice interface to

see code while you're working with

Claude Code. But there's one major issue

with using Visual Studio Code or cursor

with clawed code that has made it

intolerable for me now, and that is the

speed. If you have more than one Visual

Studio Code or one cursor open at any

given time, it slows your computer down

to a halt. If you've been using Claude

Code in the past, this is probably how

you use it, right? You have Visual

Studio Code open. You have either the

extension or the CLI open. And if you

want to work on two or three projects,

which in my previous video the creator

Claude Code recommended doing, you would

have to open up two or three of these

Visual Studios or cursors. The memory

consumption on these apps are

unbelievably high. You open up a second

or third one of these and your computer

basically turns boiling hot and your

slows down to a crawl. That's where the

claw code CLI in the terminal comes in.

Specifically, Ghosty, which I will show

you how to set up in just one second.

This is the reason why it's the best.

You can have open hundreds of these

terminals and your computer will still

run fine. So, it is by far the best

speed. It is the best features and

functionality. Something we figured out

over the last month or so is that Claude

Code in the terminal gets all the

updates and features first. It got the

latest plan mode before all the others,

before the extension, before the desktop

app. It gets all the features first. So

using it in the terminal, you're getting

the best features and functionality. And

it allows you to multitask because you

can open up so many terminals without

slowing down your computer. You can work

with as many clawed codes as you want at

the same time. the CLI in the terminal,

specifically Ghosty, which I'll show you

in a second, destroys the CLI in VS

Code, the desktop app, the extension,

any other way you use it. So, let's talk

about setting it up. All you need to do

is go to ghosty.org. That's with two T's

in there. You hit download. It's

completely free. What is Ghosty? All

Ghosty is is a customizable terminal

with more features and functionality. So

it is exactly like the terminal that is

on your PC or Mac except it is much

easier to use than your standard

terminal. You can easily customize

Ghosty with thousands of builtin themes

and colorways. Also you can do things

like split the terminal very easily. So

one click I can say split right gives me

a second terminal in this one window and

now I can do things like run my servers

right next to claw code which is

amazing. I'll go into this in a second

as well. You can also do things like

have multiple tabs which are super

efficient and easy to switch to as well.

It is just so much more usable, quick,

and efficient than not only VS Code and

cursor and all those, but also just your

regular terminal as well. As for setup,

it is super simple. If you've never used

Claude Code before, just take the

command I'll put down in the

description, paste it into Ghosty, you

have Claude Code installed, sign up for

a subscription on Claude's site, and you

are good to go. Then all you need to do

once you've installed Claude code into

your Ghosty is just type in Claude and

you will see the window you see here

which is Claude opened up inside your

Ghosty terminal. So let me show you my

workflow now. I'm going to build a full

application here with Claude Code inside

Ghosti. I'm going to show you how I

multitask. I'm going to show you how I

run servers. I'm going to show you how I

edit code files. I'm going to show you

beginning to end my workflow with Claude

Code and Ghosti and show you why it is

the absolute best. The first thing we're

going to do after we open up claude code

inside goi just type claude right now if

you haven't yet is we're going to go

into plan mode. So that is shift tab and

then shift tab and you'll see plan mode

on the plan mode inside claude code

inside the terminal is the best plan

mode out of them all. I know it sounds

strange. I've tested them all. First of

all, they just added plan mode into the

desktop app. So the desktop app didn't

even have plan mode before. But the

extension previously the plan mode was

like a nerfed plan mode where it

wouldn't ask you questions. So this plan

mode inside the terminal has the latest

features and functionality and is by far

the most powerful. So I'm going to do

this. I'm going to build out a really

simple application you can build out

with me right now and will be totally

usable that you can just use after this

demo. So feel free to pause and do this

alongside with me. It's the best way to

consume my videos is doing everything I

do. But let's build out a habit tracking

app, an advanced AIdriven habit tracking

app. Along the way, I'll show you all

the tips and tricks of this advanced

workflow. So, here we go. Here's the

prompts we'll use. And I'll put this

down below. Feel free to pause and grab

this and paste this into your own Ghosty

terminal. I want to build out a habit

tracking app. I want to be beautiful but

simply themed. I want to track my habits

streaks and excellent animations and

visuals that make the app satisfying and

allow me to track my mood. I'd also like

advanced AI functionality. Feel free to

ask me questions to come up with more

ideas. By default, Claude's planning

mode asks you questions already to tease

out more ideas and features, but I also

just like to say that feel free to ask

me questions because then it will

encourage it to ask even more questions.

I find the more that Claude Code

interviews me, the better the app turns

out to be. So, I always put that at the

end. So, a little tip and trick for you

there. I'm going to hit enter on this

and it is going to get to work. I also

find claude code in the terminal here is

also just a lot faster as well. Maybe

it's because of the memory management.

Again, cursor and VS code take up so

much memory on your computer, but I just

find this to be a lot faster as well.

Uh, as this goes, I'm really excited to

show you the multitasking functionality

and how to do that as well. Something

that's very difficult to do if you do

this in VS Code or cursor. We'll get

into that shortly, but let's get this

first part set up here. So, it's going

to start asking me tons of questions,

which I love. The more questions it asks

you, the better this app will be. We're

going to make this a web app. What kind

of AI features are you envisioning?

Let's do an AI habit coach. So, your

habit tracker will actually coach you on

which habits you want to do. So, I like

that. Let's hit next. What visual style

appeals to you the most? Let's go with a

dark and elegant theme. I like that.

Dark and elegant, easy on the eyes. And

how do you want to visualize your

progress? Let's go with all visual types

just so we can see what we can fit into

this app. So, we'll do all visualization

types and hit submit and then we can

submit our answers. Super easy to use. I

find that when it asks you questions

like the extension, it's not quite as

simple to use. It seems like when you're

doing cloud code in the terminal, it's

just the most up-to-date, easiest way to

use the app. And now it's coming back

and asking me more questions, which I

love. How should the habits be organized

and tracked? Let's do simple checkboxes.

What AI provider will use Claude's API?

How should the data be stored? We'll do

local browser storage. And what mood

tracking granularity do do we prefer?

Let's just do it simple and submit

answer. What's beautiful about this plan

mode is it usually asks you questions

around things you didn't even think of

or consider, right? Like I didn't even

think of ways we can track the mood or

how we want to design that. But because

Claude asked me questions about it, it

kind of teased those details out of me

that I didn't even think of. So that's

why I really love this plan mode,

especially in the terminal. So here's

where things start to get interesting.

While this is building out our app, I'm

going to open up a second app to work

on. Here's one of people's biggest

mistakes is when Claude is working or

any other AI is thinking or working for

you, they will get distracted. They'll

go, they'll surf Twitter, they'll surf

Tik Tok, they'll surf YouTube, and

they'll get totally distracted while

their AI is working. The key is

multitasking. The issue is if you tried

multitasking with the claw code

extension in VS Code or with the CLI in

cursor, you open up two or three cursors

or VS Code and your computer totally

slows down. The memory management on VS

Code and especially cursor is horrible

and slows down your computer. But since

this is just the terminal, this is super

easy to do. All we need to do now is

either open up a new window or we can

open up a new tab. I'm going to pull

open this second window that actually

has my creator buddy app in it and I'm

going to work on that while we are

working on this habit tracking app. So,

here we go. We have the second window

open. My computer is running as fast as

it ever gone before. I'm going to hit

yes, continue over on the left on our

habit tracking app. And then I'm going

to talk to my AI on the right. I'm going

to say take a look at our app. Which

other features should we add to this

that will increase engagement? Something

I love to do, just brainstorm with the

AI back and forth on new features to

add. I'm going to go into plan mode on

that and hit enter. And now we have two

AIs working for us. Right on the right

hand side, I'm working on my second app.

This is something you should be doing,

working on multiple apps at once. This

is so efficient. So, we're brainstorming

with the AI on the right in my second

Ghosty window that's coming up with new

features for my other app. While on the

left hand side, our AI is building out

our habit tracking app. Again, if you

watch my last video, which I'll link

down below as well, which is the video

on Boris, who is the creator of Claude

Codes workflow, you'll know he works

with five Claude Code windows at once.

For me, five is a little tough, so I

like to do just the two here. It allows

me to focus on just these two projects,

but this is something you can do as

well. A question I get a lot is, can I

work on the same project in multiple

windows? The answer to that is yes as

well. What you'd want to do is ask

Claude Code to create a new branch for

you in a new working tree. This is all

GitHub function that makes sure your

code is separate from each other when

you're working on the same project in

multiple windows. So just make sure if

you're working on the same project in

multiple windows to say, "Hey, make sure

we do this in separate branches." And

that will ensure your agents don't step

on each other's toes. If you want a full

video on that workflow, specifically

having multiple windows on just one

project, let me know down in the replies

below, too. This is one of the greatest

advantages to using this workflow of the

ghosty terminal is you can easily have

multiple windows up on your screen at

once. When you're using VS Code or

cursor, it takes up so much of your

screen because of all the code and all

that. With here, it's very small, very

simple. You can see only what Claude

code is doing. You don't need to see the

code. Opus 45 is so good. You no longer

need to check on the code it's writing.

You're good enough. just having these

terminals open. In a second, we will

test this new habit tracking app and

I'll show you some other tips with this

workflow, which is really, really

powerful. But right before we do that,

if you've learned anything so far, make

sure to leave a like down below,

subscribe, really critical, turn on

notifications. All I do is make amazing

videos about claude code and AI. And if

you want to join a Vibe Coding

community, in the description down below

is Vibe Coding Academy, my newly

launched community with hundreds of

people in it. you get to hang out weekly

calls and work with other builders. But

let's get back to the workflow. All

right, so the app finished building over

here on left. The habit tracker is all

done. What I'm going to do now is show

you how I multitask and debug and all

that when it comes to the app itself.

All you need to do is in the top you hit

file then split right. That splits our

terminal in two. And what I like to do

here is I run the server on the right

hand side. So I do npm rendev. This is

now running on localhost 3003. I can now

continue to work on the lefthand side in

claude while monitoring the server logs

on the right hand side. So let's do

this. Let's open it up. Let's check out

what what we got here. This is looking

good. Let me fit this in here. Boom.

Look at this. So we have good afternoon.

We have our habit tracker here. Our

streaks today. I like the theme. It's

nice and dark. Let's add a habit. I want

to read. We'll give it the book icon.

We'll make it purple. We'll create the

habit. There we got it there. Let's add

another one. Exercise. I want to make my

muscles big. So, let's give it that

icon. Let's make it red. Create the

habit. We can track our mood. How am I

feeling today? I'm feeling great cuz I'm

filming for YouTube. That's amazing.

Feeling great. Let's see. I was going to

check this off. Check it off. We get a

nice confetti feature. Oh, look at that.

You get to track your rings like it's

Apple. That's really cool. You have

different tabs. You can have insights.

That's really cool. Looks like we have a

couple errors here. What's great about

this strategy again is you get

everything in one screen. So, I can see

my server logs, see where we're getting

errors, easily be able to copy and paste

it over into Claude here. Uh, and it's

it's just so much easier and more

efficient, and your computer just runs

much faster because of the memory

efficiency. I'm getting so much more

done because I can have the servers on

the same screen as Cloud Code. I can

have multiple terminals open without my

computer slowing down, be able to go

back and forth. So now I can go in here,

give Claude another prompt for what to

work on while continuing to work on my

other app on Creator Buddy and finding

new features we can build out. Here's

something else I like. Let's let's open

up a third terminal. I'll go new window

here. This is in our chatbot. I'm going

to open up Claude. In this third window,

we now have three Claud. I opened it up

in our habit tracker project and now I'm

going to say you're a project manager

for this app. Take a look at the app and

give me a rundown for improvements. So

now I have multiple windows going. I

have one here as the project manager,

right? It's going, it's looking at our

app. It's giving us recommendations. Any

good recommendations it comes up with,

I'm just going to copy and paste over to

our developer claude over here on the

left. And now we are multitasking like

crazy. If I want to open up another

terminal and have it be our marketer and

have it start writing tweets for X, I

can do that as well. This is the true

amount of multitasking that is unlocked

by going with this ghosty terminal

strategy that was not possible with VS

Code or cursor before just because of

the slowness of that process. Another

question I get a lot is, "Okay, Alex,

how do I edit files if I need to? How do

I add environment variables if I need

to?" Well, that's not too tough either.

All you would need to do is open up a

Finder window. Go to whatever file you

want to edit and you can just open it

up. If you want to open it up with a

text editing app, you can do that as

well. I just open it up and it opens it

up in anti-gravity. I don't know why it

was just the default one. It opens up

anti-gravity. I make a change to the

code and then I close anti-gravity so

that we can serve memory. Very simple to

make changes. Be again because Opus is

so smart. you're not really having to

make any code changes or look at the

code at all. So, it is very rare that

you have to do something like that. One

last tip I'll give you real quick, just

expanding on it a little bit more. If I

wanted to start making changes in our

code for this project in this second

window, right? So, now we have two

windows open for this habit tracker. One

is kind of our main developer. We have

another one. Maybe we want to make small

changes in here. All I need to do is say

create a new branch for a second feature

we are building and put it in a new work

tree. This will create a separate set of

code that it will work on so it doesn't

step on each other's toes so it doesn't

destroy what each other are working on.

You just need to make sure you have this

code up on GitHub first so that you can

create these branches and work trees.

Again, if you want a full breakdown

video on that workflow, let me know down

in the replies below as well. I have

tried every Claude Code workflow on the

planet. As of this date that this video

is posted, this is my favorite workflow

ever. I get a bunch of complaints when I

show new workflows like, "Hey, last week

you told us this workflow." Yeah, this

is a very fastmoving space. It changes

every single day. Next week we might

have a completely new workflow we use,

but as of this posting, this is in my

opinion by far the fastest, most

efficient workflow that keeps your

computer moving fast and allows you to

multitask the easiest. Again, if you
