One of the best parts about Claude Code is that the "code" in the name is misnomer. The fact is that it can be used for a wide variety of things. I wanted to use it to help with some woodworking projects. But part of the problem was that I didn't know where to start. I am very inexperienced at this which leads me to lean in to using Claude Code to help with research and planning. So that's where I got started
can we work on creating some plugins/skills/agents and anything else that would be useful for woodworking projects? are there any programs we could write that would help us determine cut lists? material lists? let's be creative here. i'd like to build a complete woodworking project system that we can consult any time we want to build something.
Claude responded with an interactive questionnaire — what kind of projects, what tools do you have, what level of detail — and then built out a full plugin with Python tools and a set of commands. Two corrections landed in the first session, before any wood was cut.
