# Break large coding jobs into focused subagent missions with AB Method

Use AB Method when a Claude Code task is too large for one pass and needs to be broken into focused tasks and missions that are completed incrementally instead of trying to solve the whole project in one conversation.

## Prerequisites

Claude Code, the AB Method installer or workflow files, and a repository where generated task, mission, and architecture documents can live alongside implementation work.

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- npx ab-method

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- bash
- The installer detects your environment and installs accordingly:
- | Detected | Result |
