claude-code-framework

Authoritative reference for how Claude Code itself works AND how to build for it — CLAUDE.md memory, custom slash commands, subagents, skills, hooks, MCP servers, settings precedence, permissions, plan mode, CLI/headless/CI, worktrees, and multi-platform surfaces. Use when authoring or debugging a plugin component (command/agent/skill/hook), wiring an MCP server, choosing frontmatter fields, configuring settings.json or permissions, figuring out why an agent/skill won't auto-trigger, running headless/CI or worktree-parallel sessions, or answering "how does Claude Code X work / how should I structure this for Claude Code."

configuring-claude-code

Use when setting up or auditing Claude Code in a repository — CLAUDE.md hierarchy and imports, .claude/rules, custom slash commands and skills, path-specific rules, plan mode vs direct execution, iterative refinement workflow, or CI/CD integration with headless -p mode. Also when instructions get ignored, conventions load in the wrong scope, CLAUDE.md has grown bloated, or a CI pipeline needs non-interactive Claude runs.
