It acts as a set of persistent guidelines that the AI reads at the start of every session to ensure its code suggestions…

Skills

Claude Code skills are modular packages of instructions, scripts, and assets that teach the AI assistant how to perform specific, repeatable workflows. Each skill is stored in a dedicated folder containing a mandatory SKILL.md file, which uses YAML frontmatter to define its name and a description that the AI uses…

Context

A context window is the total amount of information a model can hold in its active memory at one time, including your conversation history, the files it has read, and the results of any terminal commands it has executed. It functions like a temporary workspace where every word and symbol (counted as tokens) fills…

Modes

Permission modes are settings that control the level of autonomy the AI has when interacting with your computer. By default, the system operates in Default Mode, where it must ask for your approval before it edits any files or executes shell commands. You can cycle through other levels of authority, such as…

Models

These hooks allow developers to enforce project standards and ensure system reliability without manual intervention, much like Git hooks but designed for…

Subagents

Subagents are specialized AI assistants that function as independent "team members" to handle focused tasks on behalf of the main agent. Each subagent operates within its own isolated context window, meaning it starts with a clean slate and does not clutter your primary conversation with large amounts of…

Claude Workflow

The Claude Code workflow operates as a continuous agentic loop where the AI moves through four primary phases: Explore, Plan, Implement, and Verify. It begins by indexing your local codebase and reading persistent instructions from your CLAUDE.md file to align with your project's specific standards. When you issue…

Permission Modes

Claude Code features several permission modes that define the balance between autonomy and safety during your session, ranging from Plan mode, which restricts Claude to a read-only state for exploration and strategy without any tool execution, to BypassPermissions mode (often called "YOLO mode"), which grants the…

Plan Mode

Plan Mode is a strictly read-only permission state that allows Claude to analyze your codebase, research dependencies, and draft a step-by-step implementation strategy without the risk of modifying any files or executing state-changing commands.

Manage Sessions

Claude Code manages sessions through a persistent, local architecture where every interaction is stored in a unique session file, allowing you to resume work using terminal flags like claude --continue (for the most recent thread) or claude --resume (to open an interactive picker of past conversations). While each…

Ctrl+C

Ctrl+C is a keyboard shortcut that immediately sends an interrupt signal to the Claude Code terminal to stop its current activity. It is primarily used to halt a long-running process, such as an accidental infinite loop in your code, a search that is taking too long, or a lengthy model response that you realized…

Ctrl+R

Ctrl+R is a terminal shortcut that opens the command history search, allowing you to quickly find and reuse previous prompts or terminal commands you have typed during your session. Instead of manually retyping complex instructions or scrolling back through hundreds of lines of output, you can press Ctrl+R and…

Esc

The Esc key is a navigation shortcut used to exit current menus, cancel active inputs, or clear the command line. If you are in the middle of typing a long prompt and want to start over, pressing Esc will wipe the input field clean, and if you have a dropdown menu or a multi-select list open—such as when choosing…

Esc + Esc

Double-tapping the Esc key in Claude Code activates the Rewind feature, which serves as a temporal navigation system for both your conversation history and your code state. When triggered, it opens an interactive menu that allows you to jump back to any previous prompt in the session, effectively acting as a "undo"…

Shift+Tab

Shift+Tab is a navigation shortcut that allows you to cycle through different permission modes to control how much autonomy the AI assistant has over your computer. These modes act as a security dial, ranging from Default Mode, where the assistant must ask for your approval before making any file edits or running…

claude -r

The claude -r command (short for --resume) allows you to restart a specific past conversation by providing its unique Session ID. Unlike the -c flag, which automatically opens the very last session you had, -r gives you the precision to jump back to any session from your history, ensuring you can continue a…

claude "query"

The claude "query" command allows you to start the Claude Code interactive REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) with an initial instruction already provided. By passing a string as an argument directly after the claude command, the assistant will immediately begin processing that request—such as "explain this project" or…

claude -p

The claude -p command (short for --print) activates Print Mode, which runs Claude Code as a non-interactive, single-use utility rather than a continuous chat session. When you use this flag, you provide a prompt directly in the command line; Claude then executes its agentic loop—researching, editing files, or…

claude -c

The claude -c command (short for --continue) is a CLI flag used to instantly reopen the most recent conversation session in your current directory. Instead of starting a fresh chat with a clean context, this command restores the previous conversation history, allowing you to pick up exactly where you left off…

claude --add-dir

The claude --add-dir command is a startup flag that allows you to include extra folders in your working session before the interface even opens. By providing one or more directory paths when you launch the tool (for example, claude --add-dir ../library --add-dir ./docs), you grant the assistant permission to read…

CLAUDE.md

CLAUDE.md is a project-specific markdown file that acts as the "persistent memory" and onboarding manual for Claude Code, ensuring the AI adheres to your unique development standards across every session. Since Claude begins each new interaction with a blank context, this file is automatically read at launch to…

How to Structure

To write an effective CLAUDE.md, you should treat it as a concise, persistent "source of truth" that provides Claude with the project-specific context it cannot infer from the code alone. The file should be kept short and human-readable, focusing on non-obvious information like unique bash commands for building and…

Locations

Claude Code manages instructions through a hierarchical memory system that layers context based on the directory structure of your project. At the start of every session, Claude recursively searches from your current working directory up to the root, automatically loading global preferences from ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md…

Resume

To resume a conversation in Claude Code, you can use the terminal command claude --continue (or -c) to instantly pick up the most recent session in your current directory, or claude --resume (or -r) to open an interactive session picker. This picker allows you to browse past conversations and select one using your…

Rewind

To rewind a conversation in Claude Code, you can use the /rewind slash command or the Esc + Esc keyboard shortcut to open the interactive checkpoint menu. This feature leverages the tool's automatic snapshotting, which creates a restore point for every user prompt and file modification throughout your session.

Skills

In Claude Code, Skills are self-contained folders of "expert knowledge" and repeatable workflows that Claude loads dynamically into its context only when the task requires it. Each skill is anchored by a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter, which helps Claude identify the skill's purpose without bloating the…

Creating Skills

To create a custom skill in Claude Code, you must establish a new folder within the .claude/skills/ directory containing a SKILL.md file that defines the skill's identity and logic. This file begins with a YAML frontmatter block containing a unique name and a detailed description, which Claude uses as a trigger to…

These hooks allow developers to enforce project standards and ensure system reliability without manual intervention, much like Git hooks but designed for…

Hook Events & Matchers

In Claude Code, Hook Events represent the specific lifecycle moments when custom logic can be triggered, while Matchers act as the regex-based filters that determine which specific actions within those moments should fire the hook.

Hook Types

In Claude Code, you can configure three distinct handler types for your hooks—Command, Prompt, and Agent—depending on whether you need a script, an AI "judgement call," or a specialized researcher to validate actions. Command hooks (type: "command") are deterministic shell scripts that execute standard commands…

Hook Inputs & Outputs

Hooks communicate via a standardized JSON interface: Inputs are passed to the hook via stdin, and Outputs are returned via stdout to influence the agent's next move. The input payload typically includes a context object containing session metadata and event-specific data, such as the tool name and its arguments…

/context

The /context command is a diagnostic tool that provides a technical breakdown of how the model's context window is currently allocated, using a colored grid. While commands like /usage show you the "how much," /context shows you the "what." It lists every file, conversation turn, and tool result currently being…

/compact

The /compact command is a context management tool designed to optimize your session's memory when the context window begins to fill up. Instead of completely wiping your history like /clear, /compact instructs Claude to generate a concise summary of the key decisions, code changes, and project state established so…

/init

The /init command is the initialization utility used to set up Claude Code for a specific project directory. When you run this command, it creates a CLAUDE.md file in your current folder. This file serves as the "foundation" for the assistant, allowing you to define project-specific coding standards, build…

/memory

The /memory command is a knowledge management tool used to create and manage persistent information that survives across different Claude Code sessions. Unlike the /compact command, which only optimizes the current conversation's temporary window, /memory interacts with permanent storage—primarily your project's…

While features like CLAUDE.md provide "soft" instructions, hooks offer deterministic control, ensuring that specific shell commands or AI evaluations run every…

/mcp

The /mcp command is the integration hub for the Model Context Protocol, an open standard that connects Claude Code to external data sources and third-party tools. While you use the terminal command claude mcp add to install a new server, the /mcp slash command is used inside the session to manage those connections,…

Manage Context

Active management of the context window is the single most effective way to ensure reliable model performance and predictable operational costs, as Claude Code is billed based on the total number of tokens processed in each turn. Because the tool re-reads the entire conversation history with every new message to…

Understand Claude Pricing

Claude Code offers a flexible, dual-path pricing model designed to accommodate both individual power users and high-scale enterprise teams. You can access the tool through a fixed-rate subscription (such as the Pro or Max plans), which provides a generous recurring allocation of messages shared across the web…

Use /compact and /clear

Regularly using /compact and /clear is the most effective way to prevent "context rot" and manage spiraling API costs while working with Claude Code. Because Claude re-processes your entire conversation history with every new message, a session that has accumulated thousands of lines of terminal output and file…

Be mindful of extensions

Carefully managing extensions, such as MCP servers, skills, and subagents, is vital because every active integration consumes a portion of Claude’s finite context window, and excessive "context pollution" can lead to degraded reasoning or higher operational costs.

Use subagents and hooks

Subagents and Hooks are powerful architectural tools that manage the context window by practicing "selective attention," ensuring the main conversation stays lean while specialized tasks remain high-precision. Subagents act as isolated "expert bubbles" that run in their own independent context windows with…

Using thinking modes and adjusting effort levels in Claude Code is essential for balancing deep reasoning with operational efficiency. Furthermore, you can fine-tune Claude's cognitive energy using the effort parameter (available through the /model command).

Prompt Caching

Prompt caching in Claude Code is a performance-optimizing feature that stores the frequently used "prefixes" of your conversations—such as your entire codebase state, system instructions, and tool definitions—so they don't have to be reprocessed from scratch with every new message. In an agentic environment where…

Customize Status Line

Claude Code allows you to personalize your terminal environment by customizing the status line, which is the persistent information bar at the bottom of the interface. You can keep essential data like real-time session costs or context usage percentages visible at all times, helping you manage your budget and…

SessionStart

The SessionStart hook is an initialization lifecycle event that triggers at the very beginning of a Claude Code interaction. Unlike other hooks that react to specific user prompts or file edits, SessionStart is designed to bootstrap your environment and inject high-priority context before the first prompt is even…

SessionEnd

The SessionEnd hook is a teardown lifecycle event that triggers when you exit Claude Code or terminate a session. While SessionStart is for preparation, SessionEnd is your dedicated window for cleanup, archiving, and final reporting. It ensures that your environment is left in a clean state and that any important…

PreToolUse

The PreToolUse hook is a validation gate that executes immediately after Claude decides to use a tool (like writing a file or running a shell command) but before that tool actually runs. It is primarily used for security, policy enforcement, and input sanitization, acting as a final check to ensure the AI's…

PostToolUse

The PostToolUse hook is a reactive lifecycle event that triggers immediately after a tool (like Bash, Write, Edit, or a custom MCP tool) completes its execution. While the PreToolUse hook acts as a guard to block actions, the PostToolUse hook is designed for automation, cleanup, and quality control—ensuring that…

UserPromptSubmit

The UserPromptSubmit hook is an interception mechanism that fires the moment you press Enter on a prompt, but before the text is actually sent to the Claude model. It is the most powerful tool for prompt engineering automation, allowing you to programmatically rewrite, validate, or enhance your instructions on the fly.

Stop

The Stop hook is a final-stage lifecycle event that triggers when Claude Code believes it has finished its entire response and is about to return control to the user. Unlike PostToolUse, which fires after every single file edit or command, the Stop hook only runs once at the very end of the interaction "turn."

Connecting Tools with MCP

Model Context Protocol (MCP) transforms Claude Code from a local file editor into a connected agent capable of interacting with your entire tech stack, from Jira tickets to live databases. Acting like a "USB-C port for AI," MCP provides a standardized bridge that allows Claude to discover and execute external…
