Claude Code Tutorial #5 - Planning & Thinking

The podcast explores the functionalities of Claude Code, focusing on its planning and thinking modes. Planning mode is suited for tasks involving broad changes across multiple files, while thinking mode is better for complex logic within a narrower scope. The speaker demonstrates planning mode by creating a custom avatar component, highlighting how Claude Code generates a plan, implements the component, and integrates it throughout a blog project. Although the AI made some unwanted changes, the speaker rectifies them, emphasizing the importance of specific instructions. The speaker also explains thinking mode, which is activated by using the word "think" in prompts, and discusses different levels of thinking, such as "think hard" or "ultra think," while noting the increased token consumption.
