Module 6, Lesson 1: Scaffolding the Project
Before We Start
From previous lessons:
- Your design is done and connected to Claude Code. Module 5, Lesson 4
- Your project is on GitHub with your design system, prototypes, and specs imported and organized locally. Module 5, Lesson 5
- Claude Code should already be connected to YouTrack via MCP from Module 3, Lesson 6
Tools / setup you'll need:
- Your YouTrack Agile board, populated and segmented by phase (backlog, develop, review, test, staging, done)
- WebStorm, open to your project directory
- Claude Code, running in your WebStorm terminal
By the end of this lesson, you'll:
- Have confirmed Claude Code can read your YouTrack issues
- Have written a
CLAUDE.mdfile that gives Claude Code guiding principles for how it works on your project - Have Claude Code scaffold the foundation of your app: the API and data layer, plus the mobile app shell
- Have committed that work to a feature branch, without merging to main yet
