Let Claude work from GitHub code and pause before posting

A commenter gives Claude source code and a feature brief, then reviews the draft only when PR review begins.

Done with Claude Code· Intermediate· Mar 2026

What they did
They moved away from asking Claude about one function or one file and started handing over a feature-level plan instead. Claude then read the repository, wrote a draft, and kept going until it was ready for review, while the person held off on checking the code until PR review on GitHub.com. In the same discussion, another user said they use Claude Code on desktop for planning, and the terminal for backend work, tests, and debugging.
How it went
The practical upside was speed: while one task was underway, they could start another session for the next issue. The thread did not give output numbers, and it did not spell out the exact posting path.
Tips
Use a broader task description if you want the agent to carry more of the work itself. Keep a hard stop for approval before any publish, submit, send, or post action.

Try it yourself with Claude Code

Review [GitHub repository or local project] and create a draft of [README update / release note / post / other item] from what the code does. Use [feature plan or brief] as your guide, save the draft in [file or location], and wait for my approval before you publish, send, submit, or post anything. Do not touch unrelated files.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
