How I Set Up Claude Code with 26 Production Subagents (CLAUDE.md, MCP, Hooks)

Building production-ready apps with Claude Code requires process over prompting. Success involves creating detailed briefs covering data, threat models, and scope before coding to ensure consistency. Additionally, implementing a technical setup featuring CLAUDE.md, focused subagents, MCP servers, and specific hooks transforms the tool from a junior-level coder into a senior team. This structured approach ensures the agent plans effectively, reviews work, writes tests, and avoids destructive actions during the development lifecycle.
