How to Write Robust Code with Claude Code

Coding agents like Claude Code can rapidly generate applications, but specific tactics are needed to ensure the resulting code is robust without manual review. To build reliable code initially, developers should utilize "plan mode" for better agent planning, maintain markdown "skill files" for historical context, and avoid overly large context windows which can degrade performance. After implementation, the code's robustness can be verified by having a separate AI agent perform a code review on the output. Another useful technique is to use an agent for a pre-commit walkthrough to catch immediate errors before the code is integrated.
