Claude Code is 1000x better when you use this tool
599 segments
I found a free tool that will increase
your Claude code velocity by 100x. The
tool I'm about to show you basically
acts as a second brain for Claude code
and code x, allowing you to vibe code so
much faster, stay organized with
everything you're building, and even
work easily across all your devices,
mobile, iPad, computer, whatever. If you
stick with me until the end of the
video, I promise you'll learn a new
workflow that will make you a way better
vibe coder, be a master of Claude code,
and even build your own awesome app.
Now, let's lock in and get into it. So,
what I'm going to show you in this video
is a really amazing workflow with Claude
code. You can also use code x for I
mean, you basically can use any vibe
coding tool, cursor, Claude code, code
x, whatever you want, and linear. Now,
this is not a sponsored video from
linear. I have just been using linear a
ton with Claude code and code x lately,
and it is seriously like blown my mind
what I've been doing with these tools.
If you're anything like me, you have a
laptop, a desktop, your mobile phone,
maybe an iPad, and it's been very hard
to kind of build across all of them.
What linear has done in the workflow I'm
about to show you with it, which by the
way, completely free tool up until like
a really high usage ceiling, has allowed
me to like not only work across all
those devices, but work so much faster,
too. Basically, the way this works, for
those not familiar, linear is a project
management tool. What makes it really,
really good is it's fully integrated
with Claude code and code x. It picks up
what you're working on, it integrates
with your GitHub, so it knows what code
you're shipping. What it does is it
allows you to use this like a second
brain. So, as you're building your apps,
it will take every task you're doing,
which in linear it's called issues, and
organize it very nicely for you. What
linear does is take everything you're
working on inside Claude code or code x,
organizes it into these issues and tasks
and makes sure that Claude Code knows
everything you need to build, all the
next steps, the details of each, and
just keep everything organized. It's all
based in the cloud, too. So, if you're
using Claude Code on a different device,
it can immediately look at your Linear,
know what to work on next, and pick up
from there. Trust me, everything I'm
about to show you will make your vibe
coding experience so much nicer and so
much faster. So, do me a favor, download
Linear now if you haven't yet. It's
completely free. You don't even need to
put in your credit card. Get that going,
and then open up whatever your preferred
vibe coding tool is. If it's Claude
Code, CodeX, it's going to work the same
with both. I actually use both at the
same time now, CodeX and Claude Code.
They both work off Linear. So, it
actually like ties the two tools
together. What we're going to do is
we're going to build an app out
together. I'm going to show you this
workflow by building an app from scratch
with you, how everything ties together
and works together. So, what you want to
do is once you have Linear downloaded,
just create a new team. Teams are like
the high-level app you're building. As
you can see, you can see my two SaaS's
here, Creator Buddy and Him. I'm going
to use my Creator Buddy team for this,
but you can name it whatever you want.
We're going to be building a prompt
library app together. So, if you want to
call your team prompt library, you do
that, you'll be good to go. If you just
want to watch along, you can do that,
too. I think great experience is
building alongside of me. But, if you
just want to watch, learn it, and then
afterwards do it, you can do that as
well. Once you have that downloaded and
set up, very easy, we're going to go
back into Claude Code. Then, we're going
to use the Linear plugin. So, if you go
to customize, and then you go connect
your apps, you can search for Linear,
and boom, there it is. You click that,
you log in, you're good to go, it's
connected. Your Claude Code or your
CodeX knows exactly how to communicate
with Linear now. It works the same way
in CodeX. If you're doing this with
CodeX with me, there's like a plugins in
the top left. Literally the same exact
process. So, what we're going to build
now is a prompt library app. I love this
idea because you can take your prompts
you use regularly and save them to this
library so you can reuse them whenever
you want. So, the the prompts that work
best for you you can save this library,
you reuse them. The best apps to build
are the ones you'll use over and over
and over again. I think this is a really
good one. We're going to build it
together. So, we're going to start up in
a new folder here called prompt library.
First thing we're going to do is make
sure that Claude coder Codex can see our
linear setup, see the new project we
just made. So, I'm going to say, "Do you
see the creator buddy team inside
Linear?" We're just going to confirm it
can see everything. We're going to trust
this workspace. And what we're going to
do once this is detected is we're going
to discuss the app we're going to build,
plan it out, and what it's going to do
is create a whole bunch of tasks and
issues on our Kanban board here. So,
it's going to spec out our entire app,
build out each task, put in all the
details, so whatever coding agent you
use knows how to build these out, and
we're going to start building these out
one by one. One other thing I'm going to
show you is I'm going to give you a
Claude.md file or an agent.md file if
you're using Codex that will make this
so much easier for your coding agent to
do. It'll basically give it rules that
say, "Here's how you use Linear. Here's
what you do." And it'll keep it
consistent across all your sessions. So,
that's coming up in a second as well,
those rules files I'll give you. Okay,
it can see it perfect. So, what we're
going to do now is basically set up this
project. Right, we're going to go with
Claude code, have it plan out this
prompt library we're going to build, and
it's actually going to set up in Linear
automatically all the tasks, issues,
details, all of that. It's basically
going to set up our second brain. So,
let's do this. So, here's the prompt.
I'll put this down below. Feel free to
pause, copy, and paste it if you're
working alongside me here. I want to
build out a prompt library app. This It
be a Next.js app that allows us to save
prompts into a library and access them
again when we want. We should be able to
save them into folders and categorize
them and optimize them. Please, before
we begin, build out all of the issues,
again, issues are tasks in Linear, into
Linear so we can stay organized as well
as the projects inside the Creator Buddy
team. So, projects are a higher-level
grouping of issues so we can stay
organized. I'm going to hit enter on
this. It is now going to, through our
integration, and you'll be able to watch
this live, actually build out all of
those issues inside of this team. So,
we'll be able to see it make all the
issues. And what this is going to do is
basically organize our thoughts. Before
we start building, build out all the
tasks so that as we build this out with
Claude Code, it knows exactly what to
build out next and the details of each.
And the advantages here are a few
things. Keeps it organized so you don't
get drift. Claude Code Codex won't drift
and start working on things you don't
need. It allows you stay organized to
know what's going to be built out next
if you start automating this and
allowing your Claude Code to go off and
build things. It allows you to work
between different devices since Linear
is on the cloud. If you open this up on
a laptop, you open this up on your
iPhone, it'll all feed from the same
task list so they're all working
together, all your agents across
different devices.
And it'll allow you to have to think a
lot less. So, instead of having to think
of every task you want to work on next,
you can just say, "Hey, Claude Code,
work on the next task." And it just goes
and does it, saving you tons of time.
So, as you can see, I just went to
projects. You can see it's building out
all the projects. So, the foundation and
setup, made it high urgency. Prompt
management, made it high urgency.
Organization, prompt optimization. It
added all these projects in. If we click
in, you can see here, and this is what
makes this integration with Claude Code
so good in the Linear. Before, when you
did project management in Linear without
AI, you would have to set this all up
yourself. The goals, the scope, the out
of scope, the prioritization, the
status. That was all manual. Now, this
is all automatic. This is basically just
the brain of your AI. You don't need to
manually change here anything yourself.
Now, if I go into issues, let's see if
it's built out any issues yet. Yep, I go
to all issues and boom, you can see all
these issues being made in real time and
being put inside of the different
projects that are inside your prompt
library app here in Linear. This is also
really good if you're vibe coding with
other people. So, if you have a team,
I'm going to give you kind of a bonus
section at the end here that shows some
really cool things you can do if you
integrate this with Slack as well. If
you have team members, that's going to
be amazing, so stick around for that,
too. But, this is just going to set up
kind of all the wiring and tasks and
everything we need uh to get worked on
here. As you can see, boom, all these
new hires and see tasks are coming in.
Literally as I speak, you can see them
filing in. I don't need to manage all
myself. View our software developer for
this would literally be hours of work
filling this out. Now, Claude Code built
in Linear makes this all really easy
use. Again, this is not sponsored. I
just really love this workflow and think
it's super, super impactful. Again, if
you stick with me to the end here, your
entire vibe coding workflow is going to
change, I promise you. All right, looks
like it's all complete. Let's check out
the issues it built, the projects it
built. Look at all this organization. It
made 90 different tasks for it to do. It
categorized it. It gave it priority. It
gave it dates. It gave it details. It
told it gave it exact acceptance
criteria so no one knows what to build.
This is not only going to keep us
organized, but this is also going to
give us significantly better results.
This basically forces the AI to think to
itself, "Okay, what do I need to build,
in what order, and what is the
acceptance criteria so we know this
works well." When you just say, "Hey
Claude Code, build me this or Codex
build me that," it just goes it can
drift. It doesn't know when the real end
is. That's how you get a whole bunch of
slop. This is how you stay organized and
make sure you get really good results.
And if you have the bonus of working
with a friend or a partner, you can have
it assign tasks to people and just keep
things moving. Okay, so now that we have
all these tasks, we have all these
projects, what do we do here? Now, we
can put this even in a board view. We
can see everything here. How do we get
started? Well, now let's start working
with Claude Code and have it start
building. It's going to work off this
task board and get our app built. I
don't care if you're a beginner or
advanced user of Claude Code, I think
you need to be putting this into your
workflow. I'm going to be deadly honest.
The results I've been getting have been
so much better since doing this. All
right, now we got all the issues set up.
Let's do this. It's time to start
building our app. But how do you build
with this second brain? What's the
difference in your workflow? Well, we're
going to lean a lot more on our
organization. We're going to lean a lot
more on Linear. What do you mean by
that? Well, look at this. I want to
start building. What should our first
few issues be? I'm going to hit enter
and then again, issues being the tasks
inside Linear. It's going to go. It's
going to look at our Linear board. It's
going to see what should be the first
few tasks we should tackle. It's
probably going to be scaffolding the
app, setting up Next.js, things like
that. And now it's going to tell us,
"Build in this order. Scaffold Next.js,
Genius, install Tailwind, provisioning
all that." This is great, right? Now
it's super organized. It's going to stay
on task. It's not going to drift and set
other things up, and we're going to
start building. For the sake of this
video, I'm going to have it skip doing
off and skip the database so we can keep
this quick, but we're going to start and
we're going to give it permission to
start building this app. And what you're
going to see here is as it works, you
will see the tasks right there go from
backlog to in progress to complete. And
now it's just going to kind of in
automated way take tasks, work on them,
and go. So, one thing you'll be able to
do now that you weren't able to do
before is just say, "Hey, Claude Code,
go and just start tackling tasks. Take
issues from backlog, work on them, and
complete them." That's not something you
could really do before. Now, if you work
very carefully with your Claude Code and
make sure all your issues and tasks are
up to date inside a linear, which is
really easy to do as I showed you, you
can just say, "Hey, have at it, go to
work." You can go by the pool, sip on a
pina colada, and your Claude Code is
just going. This second brain adds so
much efficiency and speed to your
workflow. Okay, and as you see here,
it's moved the scaffolding to done. We
now are installing Tailwind and Shadcn,
so a lot of the visual stuff. And you
see, everything is perfectly organized,
put in the right project, right urgency,
all that. So, this is just managed by
the app. If you were doing this without
linear before, you'd have to be doing
this one by one, think of every step to
do. Now, it's organizing and managing
itself, which is amazing. And you can
see as you go along here, it's saying,
"Okay, I'm updating this task. I'm
updating this." It really It's really
really nice the way it works. And look
at this, this is amazing. It's testing
itself now in Claude Code. A really cool
feature in Claude Code. It built the
app, it's testing itself, it's building
its own prompt and clicking on things
and
going through the workflow. It's
amazing. It's basically autonomous at
this point. Linear basically put a brain
into Claude Code, made it autonomous,
and now it's able to go through. You're
watching live each one of the issues,
build them out, test it itself, mark it
as complete, make sure it hits the
acceptance criteria we just saw in the
issue, and then move on to the next one.
This is turning Claude Code from a basic
vibe coding tool to its own AI agent
software engineer employee. Okay, and
boom, looks like it's all done. So, it
did 17
different tasks in one go. 17. I promise
you we were not using linear as a second
brain here. It would not do 17 tasks. It
probably complete the first one and say,
"Hey, what do you want to do next?" And
let's just take a quick look at our
board. Done. Actually, there's 18 tasks
in done. All these were done. Toast
notification system, delete prompts,
favorite star prompts, copy prompts to
board, sidebar folder tree, tag input,
filter library by folder. All of these
were done completely autonomously.
Basically, a third of all the work we
need to do. And let's just test it out
ourselves here. If we close this, you
can see here in the sidebar the tags,
the actual prompt itself. Let's put in a
new prompt. Build our app. Build a
second brain app. Let's save the prompt.
It works. Boom. It goes in there. It
actually kind of looks like linear,
doesn't it? Kind of a little bit. This
is how you have an autonomous employee
working for you. If you weren't If you
weren't using linear, the next step here
would be, "Okay, now we need to build
this." Right? And you're constantly
thinking of what you need to do next.
Maybe you forget what you had to build
before. But now you're organized, right?
Now, again, we can say, "Okay, move on
to the next task." And it will do it. No
more thinking. You're basically turning
into what I believe the future of AI and
Vibe coding is, which is basically you
have a stamp and you go, "Approve.
Approve. Approve. Approve. Approve.
Approve." That's all you're doing. This
is basically what linear turns the
experience into. And now, let's take
this workflow up to a second level. I
can pull open Codex here. Now I have
Codex on the right. I can open up the
same project in Codex, say, "Hey, check
out our linear board." And say, "Move on
to the next task here." And now we have
two agents independently
working on our project for us. We don't
need to get Codex up to date with what
Claude code's doing or vice versa.
They're both just looking at our linear
board, figuring out what's the next task
they can move over to in progress and
doing it. This is how you take knowledge
and move it across AI agents, move it
across devices if you want to, but how
would you take this to next level?
Here's a little bonus workflow for you.
Now, there's more things to do here.
There's more advanced parts of this
workflow. One thing I'd highly recommend
doing is having it so that every single
one of the issues, this is kind of next
level stuff, is going to be a GitHub
branch. What this does it makes it so
every single one of the tasks is in its
own branch, so that you can make a pull
request for it and review it yourself.
This keeps all of the code separate and
organized so that it doesn't really step
on each other's toes. This is very
important if you're going to use
multiple agents to do things here so
they don't overwrite each other's code.
This is also important if you have
partners working with you. Getting ready
to show you some cool stuff if you have
a multi-team approach here so that you
don't step on each other's toes as well
when it comes to code. So, this is one
of the tasks I have in Henry Intelligent
Machines, which I'm currently building,
link for that down below if you're
interested. Uh
if you go down in the comments, all of
these comments are automated. Claude
Code's handling all this for me, but you
can see it puts in the GitHub branch
URL. So, everything is stored nice and
organized. Every issue has the link to
its GitHub branch and you can go in and
create a pull request that you can
review. How do you do this though? How
do you set this up? Well, this next step
is super important. This next step sets
the rules in all of your agents so that
it follows this new workflow the right
way. So, you need to make sure you have
an updated claude.md file if you're in
Claude Code and an updated agent.md file
if you're in basically any other tool.
So, check this out. I'm in Cursor here
just so you can see the code. This is my
agent.md file. This basically has the
full breakdown of all the instructions
of this workflow I'm showing you right
now and I'll put this down below. I'm
sure YouTube might complain about this,
so I might put it in like a Google Doc
and just link to the Google Doc in the
description. But, this is the agent.md
file. And what this is going to do is
describe exactly what your agent should
do. So, before doing any code editing,
read the linear issue, read the spec,
make sure you update everything, make
sure you go up until the acceptance
criteria, don't change any unrelated
files, don't refactor anything you don't
need to refactor. And then it talks
about how to create the pull request,
right? So, the pull request being once
you're done writing the code, then
there's a request made that you can
review. And if you hit accept, it merges
the code into your main branch. By the
way, if this is all kind of foreign
language to you with GitHub, let me know
down below. I'll make like a GitHub
dedicated video to exactly how it works,
what all the terminology means. I'm not
sure my audience what kind of level of
familiarity you are, so let me know in
the comments down below. But, this
basically goes in and explains how to
use Linear, how to create pull requests,
all of that. So, everything flows
nicely. I'll put this agent.md file down
below as well. And you just want to
paste into all your agents.mds and all
your Claude.mds. This will make sure
your agents are up to date with how to
use Linear and GitHub and everything
we're doing here. Taking it even a step
further though, let's say you want to
take this to the next level. Let's say
you have teammates and you want to make
sure everyone stays up to date. This is
where Slack comes in. Slack has an
unbelievably great integration with
Linear and Claude code and Code X as
well. Many things you can do here. I
have two channels, a notifications for
Linear, a notifications for GitHub. What
this allows me to do is see anytime a
Linear issue is updated. So, anytime
it's changed, the status is updated,
anything like that, it sends a
notification to Linear notification. If
any pull requests are made in GitHub,
any code is merged, it sends that update
to the GitHub channel. And now me and my
teammates can see what we're working on,
what's changing, what's been updated,
and keep us all in the loop. This is how
you close the loop of all your building,
right? Your agents are going off,
they're being autonomous, they're
writing code, they're updating linear,
and you and your teammates are being
up-to-date in this one centralized
location in Slack. This Slack
integration, linear integration, all of
that is done right directly in Claude
code. So, if you go in here
and you go into customize, you can plug
in Slack as well. And it all just kind
of ties together and keeps everything
up-to-date really, really nicely. This
advanced workflow, as I built this out,
I don't use any other workflow.
Everything's done in linear and Slack
now. It it it keeps it so easy,
especially as you're adding in more
agents, using different devices,
everything just stays synced and
up-to-date, and most importantly,
autonomous. So, you save tons of time.
