What this skill does

Claude Code Guide

Purpose

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"

Debugging

If the agent is stuck or behaving unexpectedly:

Clear Context: Start a new session or ask the agent to "forget previous instructions" if confused.
Explicit Instructions: Be extremely specific about paths, filenames, and desired outcomes.
Logs: Ask the agent to "check the logs" or "run the command with verbose output".

Best Practices

Small Contexts: Don't dump the entire codebase into the context. Use grep or find to locate relevant files first.
Iterative Development: Ask for small changes, verify, then proceed.
Feedback Loop: If the agent makes a mistake, correct it immediately and ask it to "add a lesson" to its memory (if supported) or CLAUDE.md.

Reference

Based on Claude Code Guide by zebbern.

When to Use

This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

Limitations

Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

Installation

Copy a source-pinned command for your client. You run it yourself.

Destination: .claude/skills/claude-code-guide · pinned to the source commit

# Run from your project root
git clone https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills.git .skillboard-tmp
git -C .skillboard-tmp checkout 5cf4dfeb13ea966daa1e117897689cd7991e3f44
mkdir -p ".claude/skills"
cp -r ".skillboard-tmp/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills-claude/skills/claude-code-guide" ".claude/skills/"
rm -rf .skillboard-tmp

Review the source before running. This copies files into your project; it is not a one-click install and does not verify runtime safety.

New here? Step-by-step setup – from installing the agent to using the skill

Operating systemAgentI already use Claude Code

Install Git
Install Git with your package manager (Debian/Ubuntu shown; use dnf/pacman on others). Official download.
```
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y git
```
2
Install Claude Code
Requires Node.js 18+. Install the CLI globally: Official docs. (command-line tool)
```
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
```

Use it in Claude Code
Open Claude Code in your project. It reads skills from the folder above, so claude-code-guide is now available. Always review the source before using it – static checks cannot prove runtime safety.

Security & Audits

Scanner static-checks@0.1.0 · commit 5cf4dfeb13ea. Static checks cannot prove runtime safety – review the source and the exact diff before installing. How checks work.

No static rules matched. This is not a safety guarantee.
