A Claude Code agency is a development shop that uses Claude Code as its primary delivery vehicle -- not a sidekick, not a typeahead. The subagent pattern, the hooks system, and the skills library are wired into the day-to-day workflow. Senior engineers review every PR. Claude writes most of the code, humans own the architecture and the call on what gets merged. The result is production output that ships in days instead of months, without the 'AI slop' that kills most LLM-generated codebases at month three.

Häufige Fragen
What does a Claude Code agency actually do differently?
We build with Claude Code as the primary delivery surface -- not as a chat sidekick. That means subagents for QA, hooks that gate every commit, skills for repeatable workflows like deploys and SEO checks. The human engineer reviews architecture and design decisions. Claude writes 70-80% of the code, but a senior reviews 100% of it before merge. See how we run it: /blog/claude-code-agency-workflow.
How do you avoid 'AI slop' code in production?
Three gates. First, a TDD skill runs before any implementation -- tests are written and reviewed by a human before code lands. Second, a code-review subagent flags hallucinated APIs, unsafe patterns, and missing error handling. Third, every PR gets human review from someone who's shipped production code for 10+ years. Details: /blog/claude-code-skills-subagents-hooks-agency-qa-pipeline-2026.
Is Claude Code actually faster than hiring a developer?
For greenfield MVPs, yes -- typically 4-6x faster end to end. A 3-month MVP quote from a traditional shop ships in 9-12 days for us. For existing codebase changes, the gap narrows to 2-3x because most of the time is reading and understanding context, which is mostly human work. We won't pretend it's magic. Senior engineering judgment is still the bottleneck on hard problems.
What stack do you build on?
Next.js (App Router) or Astro for the frontend, Supabase for Postgres + Auth + Storage, Vercel for hosting. We do not build on WordPress, and we will tell you up front if your project is better served by a no-code tool. See /migrate/wordpress-to-nextjs for the most common upgrade path we run.
Can you migrate an existing Claude Code prototype to production?
Yes. We have a dedicated migration workflow at /migrate/claude-code-plan-to-production. Most prototypes need hardening on auth, RLS, error states, observability, and CI. Plan on 2-4 weeks for a proper production hand-off depending on the surface area.
What does a project cost?
MVP with auth + 5-8 screens + Supabase backend: $8,000 to $18,000. Production SaaS rebuild: $25,000 to $60,000. We share a fixed-fee quote within 24 hours of the discovery call. No hourly billing, no surprise change orders.
Will you ghostwrite for our team or work alongside them?
Either way. Most clients run hybrid -- we ship the build, then pair with their team for 2-4 weeks so they can extend it confidently. Some clients hand off the repo and never look back. Both are fine.
