Claude Code works on code. Pubflow organizes the whole product.
Claude Code: best-fit scenario
Flexible software engineering inside existing repository and terminal workflows.
Pubflow: a system, not only a generation
Pubflow supplies the missing product system around code: durable plans, app selection, authorization context, isolated runtimes, dual preview and operational handoff.
Pubflow keeps product intent alive through the whole build.
| Area | Claude Code | Pubflow |
|---|---|---|
| Blueprint | Task and repository context | Durable project + app architecture |
| Multi-app | Can span repos; does not model the product | Project Assistant + isolated Active Apps |
| Trust model | Inherits rules from code and configuration | Explicit cross-app Trust Layer |
| Stack model | Terminal-first agentic engineering | Node/Python + React/Next/Expo today |
| Preview | Preview through repository tooling | Coordinated dual runtime preview |
| Ownership | User-owned local code | Download, modify and self-host |
| Handoff | Team defines architecture and operations | Inventoried dependencies and explicit handoff |
Why Pubflow goes further
- Durable project and app Blueprint
- Multi-app Project Assistant
- Coding Agent per codebase
- Explicit Trust Layer
- Dual preview
- Portable handoff
Depth before superficial breadth
Pubflow is in beta and currently goes deep on Node.js/Python backends and React, Next.js and Expo clients. That focus makes Blueprint, Trust, Active Apps, dual preview and handoff real product capabilities—not marketing labels.
