claude-code-my-workflow

Work in progress. This is not meant to be a polished guide for everyone. It's mostly a summary of how I've been using Claude Code for academic work — slides, papers, data analysis, and more. I keep learning new things, and as I do, I keep updating these files. This is just a way for me to share what I've figured out with friends and colleagues.

A ready-to-fork foundation for AI-assisted academic work. You describe what you want — lecture slides, a research paper, a data analysis, a replication package — and Claude plans the approach, runs specialized agents, fixes issues, verifies quality, and presents results. Like a contractor who handles the entire job. Extracted from a production PhD course and extended by a growing community.
