Quick Start
Two things to know first
Section titled “Two things to know first”Scope creep is your responsibility. Claude over-builds by default. Ask it to paint the kitchen and it may want to replace the cabinets too. In your requirements, say what you want and what you don’t need yet. When Claude proposes the epic plan and each epic’s stories, cut anything unnecessary before you approve. Everything approved gets built.
Know what epics and stories are before you review them. An epic is a major feature area, such as user authentication, order management or an admin panel. A story is one thing a user can do or notice within it: “A user can log in with their email and password.” When Claude proposes stories, your job is to confirm the scope is right, with nothing missing and nothing unnecessary.
