At a Glance
What's working: You've developed a strong parallel workflow using sub-agents for research while keeping your main development moving—your CI/CD design work shows this pattern well. Your Bash-heavy approach enables rapid deployment iteration, and your disciplined use of task tracking keeps complex platform work organized across bug fixes and infrastructure changes. Impressive Things You Did →
What's hindering you: On Claude's side, authentication debugging has been frustrating—fixes address one layer only to reveal another, and you've gotten incorrect information about external APIs (like Gemini quotas) that wasted your time. On your side, deployment investigations stall because Claude can't find the right logs or diagnostic sources, so providing explicit paths to deployment dashboards or log locations upfront would help avoid those dead ends. Where Things Go Wrong →
Quick wins to try: Try creating a custom skill (/command) for your OAuth debugging workflow that includes a checklist of verification points—auth headers, session state, token handling—so Claude systematically traces the full flow instead of fixing symptoms piecemeal. Hooks could also auto-run your deployment health checks after each deploy, catching issues before you context-switch away. Features to Try →
Ambitious workflows: As models improve, expect Claude to autonomously test OAuth flows end-to-end after each fix, validating the entire auth chain before reporting back. For opaque deployment failures like your 'potion' investigation, parallel sub-agents will be able to simultaneously query K8s events, container logs, and database state, synthesizing findings rather than hitting sequential dead ends. On the Horizon →
Development of a K8s deployer platform with features including GitHub OAuth integration, status APIs, and CI/CD pipeline design. Claude Code was used extensively for bug fixes, code edits, and deployment tasks, though OAuth authentication issues proved particularly challenging with multiple fix attempts not fully resolving the problems.

How You Use Claude Code
You work with Claude Code at an extraordinary intensity level, with over 22,000 messages across 4,227 sessions and nearly 20,000 hours of usage. Your interaction style is heavily execution-focused and iterative - you lean heavily on Bash commands (137,599 uses) to test, deploy, and validate changes in real-time rather than planning extensively upfront. The TodoWrite tool usage (21,356 times) suggests you do maintain task structure, but your primary loop is rapid iteration: make a change, run it, see what happens. Your goals cluster around bug fixing, debugging, and testing (over 180 combined instances), indicating you often bring Claude into active problem-solving scenarios rather than greenfield development.
Your sessions reveal a pattern of persistence through friction - when fixes don't work, you keep pushing rather than stepping back. The GitHub OAuth sessions are telling: after 4+ attempts with Claude making code changes and deployments that didn't resolve the underlying issue, you continued troubleshooting. This tenacity is both a strength and a challenge - you achieved satisfaction in 174 sessions but also hit significant friction with wrong approaches (68 instances) where Claude went down incorrect paths. You tend to correct Claude when it provides wrong information (like the Gemini quota error) rather than accepting it, showing you're actively validating outputs. Your multi-language work across Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript with heavy YAML/Shell usage confirms you're doing full-stack infrastructure work where deployment validation is critical to your workflow.
Key pattern: You're a high-velocity iterative debugger who pushes through friction with persistent trial-and-error rather than pausing to redesign approaches when initial fixes fail.

Impressive Things You Did
You're running an intensive Kubernetes deployer platform with heavy automation across Python and TypeScript, though some debugging cycles are proving stubborn.
Parallel Sub-Agent Research Pattern
You effectively leverage Claude's sub-agent capabilities for CI/CD design research, spawning focused investigation tasks while keeping the main session productive. This parallel approach lets you gather comprehensive information without blocking your primary development workflow.
Aggressive Bash-First Automation
With over 137,000 Bash tool invocations, you've built a workflow that prioritizes direct command execution and real-time system interaction. This approach enables rapid iteration on deployments, API testing, and infrastructure changes without getting bogged down in manual steps.
Structured Task Management at Scale
Your heavy use of TodoWrite (21,000+ calls) shows you're systematically breaking down complex platform work into trackable pieces. This discipline helps maintain momentum across your bug fixes, API validations, and deployment cycles even when individual issues prove multi-layered.

Where Things Go Wrong
Your sessions show a pattern of iterative debugging cycles that don't reach resolution, particularly around authentication flows and deployment issues.
Multi-layer authentication debugging without systematic diagnosis
You're encountering OAuth and authentication issues where each fix reveals another underlying problem, suggesting the need to request a full authentication flow trace upfront rather than fixing symptoms one at a time.
GitHub OAuth fix addressed missing auth headers but failed to resolve the issue, leading to 4+ deployment cycles without success
Each OAuth fix peeled back one layer (headers, sessions, token passing) but never mapped the complete flow before starting repairs
Incorrect external service information requiring user correction
You're getting inaccurate information about third-party API limits and behaviors, which wastes time—consider asking Claude to verify quotas directly from documentation links or having you confirm before proceeding.
Claude stated Gemini quota was 20/day when it's actually 500/day for Grounding with Google Search, which you had to correct
External service issues like Gemini quota exceeded and SearXNG CAPTCHA blocks disrupted testing without fallback strategies
Investigation dead-ends on deployment and infrastructure issues
You're hitting walls when debugging deployment failures because Claude can't locate the right logs or encounters schema mismatches—providing explicit paths to logs or deployment dashboards upfront would help.
Potion project investigation failed because Claude couldn't find the project or relevant deployment logs despite extensive searching
Database schema mismatches blocked diagnosis, and redeployment still failed without root cause identification

Suggested CLAUDE.md Additions
Just copy this into Claude Code to add it to your CLAUDE.md.
Multiple sessions show Claude making auth fixes that only addressed one layer, requiring 4+ attempts while the core issue persisted across sessions.
Sessions show Claude deploying fixes and reporting success, but users then report the issue still persists (GitHub OAuth, deployment failures).
Claude stated incorrect Gemini quota (20/day vs actual 500/day), causing user to spend time correcting misinformation.
Just copy this into Claude Code and it'll set it up for you.
Custom Skills
Reusable prompts that run with a single /command
Why for you: Your top goals are bug_fix, debugging, and API testing - a /debug skill could enforce the complete trace-before-fix pattern that's been missing, and /deploy-test could ensure verification after deployments
mkdir -p .claude/skills/debug && echo '# Debug Skill
1. Reproduce the exact error first
2. Trace the FULL flow (auth tokens through all redirects, API calls end-to-end)
3. Identify ALL layers involved before proposing fix
4. After fix, test the ORIGINAL failure case
5. Only mark complete after user confirms resolution' > .claude/skills/debug/SKILL.md
Hooks
Shell commands that auto-run at lifecycle events
Why for you: With 137K Bash calls and heavy deployment work, a post-edit hook could auto-run your test suite or linting, catching buggy code before deployment (13 friction events from buggy code)
// Add to .claude/settings.json
{
"hooks": {
"post-edit": {
"command": "npm run lint && npm run test:affected",
"description": "Auto-lint and test after edits"
}
}
}
Task Agents
Claude spawns focused sub-agents for parallel exploration
Why for you: You already use Task tool (3140 calls) but session shows dead-ends finding deployment logs and project configs - explicitly asking for agent exploration could parallelize the search and find answers faster
Use an agent to: 1) Find all deployment configurations for the 'potion' project across all repos and k8s manifests, 2) Locate the most recent deployment logs and error traces, 3) Map the complete deployment pipeline from commit to production
New Ways to Use Claude Code
Just copy this into Claude Code and it'll walk you through it.
High 'Not Achieved' Rate on Auth Issues
Break authentication debugging into explicit verification checkpoints.
Your sessions show a pattern: Claude fixes what looks like the auth issue, deploys, but the problem persists. This happened across multiple GitHub OAuth sessions. The friction comes from fixing symptoms (missing header) without tracing the complete token lifecycle. Before any auth fix, require Claude to map: token creation → storage → retrieval → header attachment → server validation.
Paste into Claude Code:
Before fixing this auth issue, trace the complete authentication flow: 1) Where is the token/session created? 2) How is it stored? 3) How is it retrieved on subsequent requests? 4) Where could it be lost or malformed? Show me this flow before proposing any code changes.
External Service Blind Spots
Add verification step for external API information.
20 friction events from external service issues, plus the Gemini quota mistake. When Claude provides rate limits, quotas, or API behavior details, it's sometimes wrong. Your workflow involves Gemini, GitHub APIs, and K8s services heavily. Building in a 'verify against docs' step would prevent wasted debugging time.
Paste into Claude Code:
I need accurate API quota/rate limit info for [service]. Please check the official documentation and cite the source URL. If you're uncertain, say so rather than guessing.
Deployment Verification Gap
Add explicit post-deployment testing to your workflow.
Multiple sessions show successful deployments followed by 'it still doesn't work.' With 24 deployment-focused sessions and heavy CI/CD work, adding a verification step after each deployment would catch these faster. The K8s deployer work especially needs this given the multi-service complexity.
Paste into Claude Code:
After deploying this fix: 1) Wait for deployment to complete, 2) Test the EXACT failure case the user reported, 3) Show me the actual response/behavior, 4) Only report success if the original issue is resolved, not just if the deployment succeeded.
On the Horizon
Your data reveals strong debugging and deployment workflows, but the 44% not-achieved rate and recurring auth/deployment friction suggest opportunities for more autonomous, self-validating agent patterns.
Self-Healing Auth Flows with Test Loops
Your OAuth debugging consumed 4+ attempts without resolution—a pattern where Claude iteratively deploys, tests the actual endpoint, and validates the full auth chain autonomously could catch issues like missing headers or session problems before you re-engage. Agents can run end-to-end auth flow tests after each fix, comparing actual vs expected responses until the chain succeeds.
Getting started: Use Claude's Task tool to spawn sub-agents that deploy, then immediately curl/test the auth endpoints, parsing responses to determine next fix. Combine with TodoWrite for tracking each hypothesis.
Paste into Claude Code:
Fix the GitHub OAuth 401 error using an autonomous test loop. After each code change: 1) Deploy to staging, 2) Use Bash to simulate the full OAuth flow (initiate -> callback -> token exchange), 3) Parse the response for specific failure points (missing headers, session issues, token problems), 4) Log findings to a TODO list, 5) Implement the next fix based on actual failure data. Continue until a successful token is returned or you've exhausted 5 distinct hypotheses. Report each iteration's findings.
Parallel Deployment Diagnostics with Sub-Agents
Your 'potion' deployment investigation hit dead ends across database schemas and missing logs—parallel sub-agents could simultaneously query different diagnostic sources (K8s events, container logs, DB state, recent commits) and synthesize findings, dramatically reducing time-to-diagnosis for opaque failures.
Getting started: Leverage the Task tool to spawn 3-4 parallel agents, each focused on one diagnostic vector. Have them report back structured findings that a coordinator agent synthesizes into a root cause analysis.
Paste into Claude Code:
Investigate the deployment failure for [service-name] using parallel diagnostics. Spawn sub-agents for: 1) K8s events and pod status (kubectl describe, get events), 2) Container logs from the last 3 deployment attempts, 3) Database migration status and schema validation, 4) Git diff of last 5 commits affecting deployment configs. Each agent should return structured JSON with {source, findings, anomalies, confidence}. Synthesize all findings into a ranked list of probable root causes with suggested fixes.
Iterative Bug Fixes Against Test Suites
With bug_fix and debugging as your top goals but 'buggy_code' and 'wrong_approach' as friction sources, Claude could autonomously iterate fixes against your existing test suites—running tests after each change, analyzing failures, and refining until green. This turns debugging from conversation into autonomous resolution.
Getting started: Structure prompts to give Claude permission to run tests repeatedly, using Bash for test execution and Edit for fixes. TodoWrite can track which tests fail and what's been tried.
Paste into Claude Code:
Fix the failing tests in [path/to/module]. Use this autonomous loop: 1) Run the test suite with verbose output, 2) Parse failures to identify the specific assertion or error, 3) Read the relevant source files and understand the expected behavior, 4) Make a targeted Edit to fix the root cause (not just the symptom), 5) Re-run tests. Continue until all tests pass or you've made 7 fix attempts. After each iteration, update a TODO with: test name, failure reason, fix attempted, result. If stuck after 3 attempts on the same test, propose 2 alternative architectural approaches.
"Claude confidently told a user Gemini's API quota was 20 requests per day. The user corrected them: it's actually 500."
During a Threads Search deployment session, Claude provided quota information that was off by 25x, prompting a gentle but firm correction from the user who clearly knew their API limits better.
