Recommended Workflows

Step-by-step guides helping you use AI to build software without knowing how to code.

New to ClaudeKit?
These workflows consist of sequences of commands that work together to accomplish common tasks. Perfect for getting started!

Build a New Feature

Beginner

Best for: Adding new functionality to your app

~15-30 min 4 steps
1
/brainstorm Explore ideas

Discuss your feature idea with AI to explore possibilities and get feedback

2
/plan Create implementation plan

AI creates a detailed step-by-step plan for building your feature

3
Review & adjust the plan

Look through the plan, ask questions, and request changes if needed

4
/code @plan.md Implement the plan

AI writes the code following the plan, runs tests, and reviews the work

💡 Tip: Use /clear before /code to save tokens

Fix a Bug

Beginner

Best for: Fixing errors and unexpected behavior

~5-15 min 3 steps
1
/debug Investigate the issue

AI analyzes your code to find the root cause of the problem

2
/fix Apply the fix

AI fixes the bug and explains what was wrong and how it was fixed

3
/test Verify the fix

Run tests to make sure the bug is fixed and nothing else broke

💡 Tip: /fix automatically routes to specialized fix commands

Quick Implementation

Intermediate

Best for: Small features when you know what you want

~10-20 min 1 steps
1
/cook "your task" All-in-one command

AI researches, plans, implements, tests, and reviews the feature automatically

What /cook "your task" does automatically:
  • Research best approaches and technologies
  • Create and execute implementation plan
  • Write and test the code
  • Review for quality and best practices
💡 Tip: Skip planning steps for faster results

Start New Project

Advanced

Best for: Creating a complete app from scratch

~1-2 hours 1 steps
1
/bootstrap "describe your app" Complete project setup

AI builds your entire project: research, architecture, design, implementation, and documentation

What /bootstrap "describe your app" does automatically:
  • Research and tech stack selection
  • Project structure and architecture
  • UI/UX design and wireframes
  • Complete implementation with tests
  • Comprehensive documentation
⚠️ Warning: This uses significant AI tokens

Pro Tips

Save tokens with /clear
Use /clear to clear conversation history before starting implementation
Reference files with @
Use @plan.md to reference specific files in commands
Create save points often
Use /git:cm to commit your progress regularly so you can restore if something goes wrong
Ask questions anytime
Use /ask to get technical explanations or architectural guidance
Scout before coding
Use /scout to quickly find relevant files in your codebase
Debug before fixing
Use /debug first to find root cause, then /fix when ready
Discover commands with /ck-help
Type /ck-help to see all 60+ commands organized by category
Always start with /plan
Create a structured plan first, then use /code to execute it step-by-step
