Claude Code Guide
This is a meta-skill that teaches you how to configure Claude Code itself through CLAUDE.md files. It's essentially documentation and templates for getting better results from the agent by setting up project guidelines, commands, and context upfront. The repo has 27.7K stars and passes all three security audits, which tells you it's been widely adopted. Useful if you're starting fresh projects and want to establish conventions before the agent starts generating code, though the source here doesn't show much of the actual template content. Think of it as training wheels for writing good AI instructions rather than a coding skill in the traditional sense.

Claude Code Guide
Purpose
To provide a comprehensive reference for configuring and using Claude Code (the agentic coding tool) to its full potential. This skill synthesizes best practices, configuration templates, and advanced usage patterns.
Configuration (CLAUDE.md)
When starting a new project, create a CLAUDE.md file in the root directory to guide the agent.
Template (General)
# Project Guidelines
## Commands
- Run app: `npm run dev`
- Test: `npm test`
- Build: `npm run build`
## Code Style
- Use TypeScript for all new code.
- Functional components with Hooks for React.
- Tailwind CSS for styling.
- Early returns for error handling.
## Workflow
- Read `README.md` first to understand project context.
- Before editing, read the file content.
- After editing, run tests to verify.
Advanced Features
Thinking Keywords
Use these keywords in your prompts to trigger deeper reasoning from the agent:
- "Think step-by-step"
- "Analyze the root cause"
- "Plan before executing"
- "Verify your assumptions"
