Customizing your Build Kit

This video shows you how to download a Build Kit from Builder Methods Pro, drop it into your code base, and customize it before kicking off the build. Using the Bookmark Manager Build Kit as the example, I walk through every file in the build_plan folder, explain how the milestones are structured, and show how to use Claude Code to make smart edits to the PRD, design system, and tech stack — so the plan reflects your product, not mine.

What's in this video:

  • A tour of every file in a Build Kit (PRD, tech stack, design system HTML, milestone prompts)
  • How to read and customize the PRD, including pulling items from "out of scope" into your V1
  • Customizing the design system (swapping primary/secondary colors with Claude Code)
  • Comparing the kit's tech stack against an existing code base vs. starting from scratch
  • How to use Claude Code to ask questions and learn unfamiliar tech terms as you go
