In this video, we demonstrate a complete workflow for using Claude Code to implement a new feature in an existing repository. We'll be working with the python-pptx library to add a "shape reflection" functionality. You'll see the entire process, starting from initializing the project with Claude, using Plan Mode to architect the solution, generating the code, and finally creating a test environment to verify the results.
This tutorial covers key Claude Code capabilities, including generating the CLAUDE.md (http://claude.md/) file for project context, using Plan Mode to ensure high-quality implementation, and leveraging the agent to set up a local Python environment for testing. Whether you are new to AI coding agents or looking to optimize your workflow, this video provides a practical, step-by-step guide.
