9.2 Building Good Work Habits#

Building good work habits helps you use Claude Code more efficiently and turn AI into a capable assistant.

Use AI Assistants Wisely#

Define AI’s Role Clearly#

AI is an assistant, not a replacement

• AI can help you complete many tasks, but it cannot fully replace your thinking
• AI’s suggestions require your judgment and decisions
• AI’s output requires your review and adjustment

AI is a tool, not a cure-all

• AI has its own limitations and cannot solve every problem
• AI’s knowledge has a cutoff date and may not include the latest information
• AI’s understanding is limited, so you need to provide clear requirements

When to Use AI#

Scenarios suited for AI

1. Repetitive tasks: such as writing reports, organizing data, and generating copy
2. Creative tasks: such as brainstorming, generating ideas, and writing stories
3. Analytical tasks: such as data analysis, trend analysis, and finding insights
4. Optimization tasks: such as polishing text, adjusting formatting, and rewriting content

Scenarios not suited for AI

1. Highly confidential tasks: such as handling sensitive data or confidential information

• API endpoint guide: Base URL and /v1 usage
• One-click configuration script: Crazyrouter Claude Code one-click configuration script

Getting Started with Crazyrouter#

If you're ready to connect Claude Code, domestic models, or your own application to Crazyrouter through a single gateway, follow this sequence:

1. Go to the Crazyrouter console, create a dedicated API Token, and manage permissions separately by project or team.
2. Use the root domain for Claude Code: https://cn.crazyrouter.com; use https://cn.crazyrouter.com/v1 for OpenAI-compatible SDKs.
3. When you need to automatically check the environment or quickly write configuration, use the Crazyrouter Claude Code one-click setup script.
4. If debugging fails, check the console logs first, then verify the API Endpoint documentation, paying special attention to whether the Base URL has an extra /v1.

When evaluating model costs or choosing among models, first review the Crazyrouter pricing and models page, then add the models you use most often to the Token allowlist.
