Multi-Claude Pair Programming Setup

Communication Strategy: File-Based Handoffs

Use ARCHITECT-PLAN.md as the communication hub between the two Claude instances, following Claude Code best practices for multi-instance coordination.

Startup Commands

Terminal 1 (Architect)

cd /Users/junaid/dashboard-refactor/next-keystone-starter
claude-code

Initial Prompt for Architect:

Please read CLAUDE.md and begin analyzing the refactoring requirements for [specific component/feature]. Follow the instructions in ARCHITECT-PROMPT.md for your role as the strategic architect.

Terminal 2 (Editor)

cd /Users/junaid/dashboard-refactor/next-keystone-starter
claude-code

Initial Prompt for Editor:

Please read ARCHITECT-PLAN.md and confirm if you're ready to begin implementation. Follow the instructions in EDITOR-PROMPT.md for your role as the implementation specialist.

File Structure for Communication

  • CLAUDE.md - Project guidance and patterns (existing)
  • ARCHITECT-PROMPT.md - Architect role instructions
  • EDITOR-PROMPT.md - Editor role instructions
  • ARCHITECT-PLAN.md - Living communication document (created by Architect)

Workflow

  1. Architect reads CLAUDE.md and creates initial analysis in ARCHITECT-PLAN.md
  2. Architect develops complete refactoring strategy and marks "READY_FOR_EDITOR"
  3. Editor reads ARCHITECT-PLAN.md and begins implementation
  4. Editor updates progress in ARCHITECT-PLAN.md after each step
  5. Architect monitors progress and provides course corrections as needed

Benefits

  • Separation of Concerns: Strategy vs Implementation
  • Component Extraction Focus: Specialized for breaking down monolithic components
  • Quality Assurance: Each Claude reviews the other's work
  • File-Based Communication: Clear handoffs and progress tracking
  • CLAUDE.md Integration: Follows project-specific patterns and commands
