Is this dumb?: I talk to Claude chat, to give me Claude Code prompts.

A developer describes their workflow using Claude chat to generate Claude Code prompts, then feeding the output back into Claude chat for further discussion and simplification. They question if this iterative process is inefficient, especially since Claude Code's /plan feature is too rigid for their need for continuous conversation. The developer seeks a more effective method for integrating planning and coding with AI assistance.

This report uniquely details a developer's iterative workflow between Claude chat and Claude Code, highlighting the limitations of Claude Code's /plan feature compared to the more conversational approach.
