Run parallel Claude sessions to build and test apps
Developers maintain about 10 codebase copies with independent Claude sessions, combining strict planning specs and adb automation to drive phones for UI testing and log debugging to rapidly advance app development. Once configured, Claude reportedly executes tasks at very high speeds.

Steps
- 1Prepare about 10 codebase copies in the /code folder, each with its own git branch, Claude session, and terminal (after previously splitting large files over 10,000 lines into chunks under 2,000 lines and using a strictly typed language like dotnet).
- 2Write strict, detailed plans and specifications for each task to prevent Claude from drifting off target.
- 3Connect the phone via USB to the laptop (or use an emulator).
- 4Have Claude drive the UI via adb to run tests, read logs, and fix bugs.
- 5Once the end-to-end workflow passes, obtain the modification and test summary provided by Claude.
Copy-ready prompt
I'm building [describe your app] in the repo at [path]. First write a short spec and a step-by-step plan for [feature], and wait for my approval. Once I approve, implement it, run the app on my connected Android device or emulator using adb, tap through [the key screen or flow], and read the logs to fix any crashes. Stop when the flow works end to end and give me a summary of what you changed and tested.
