I Stopped Asking Claude to “Write Code.” These 8 Slash Commands Made It Act Like a Senior Engineer Instead. Most devs treat Claude like autocomplete. The ones who ship faster treat it like a team member with a workflow. Here is the uncomfortable truth most developers won’t say out loud: the gap between a bad Claude session and a great one is rarely the model. It is the prompt. You ask for a function, you get a function. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it confidently hallucinates an API that does not exist. You patch it. You move on. You tell yourself this is what AI coding feels like.
