Claude Code — Agent-Specific Skills

CLAUDE.md & Project Context

• Always check for CLAUDE.md at project root before starting tasks.
• Instructions in CLAUDE.md override default behavior — follow them exactly.
• Use @path/to/file syntax to import additional context files inline.

Tool Use

• Prefer dedicated tools (Read, Edit, Write) over Bash when one fits.
• Run independent tool calls in parallel to maximize efficiency.
• Reserve Bash for shell-only operations.

Memory

• Save non-obvious user preferences and feedback to /root/.claude/projects/ memory files.
• Do not save things derivable from code, git history, or documentation.
• Verify memory against current file state before acting on it — memories can go stale.

MCP & Hooks

• MCP servers extend tool capabilities — check available MCP tools before falling back to generic approaches.
• Hooks in settings.json execute automatically on events; use them for automated behaviors.
• Never skip hooks (--no-verify) unless the user explicitly requests it.

Permissions

• For destructive or hard-to-reverse actions (force push, rm -rf, drop table), confirm with user first.
• One-time approval does not mean blanket approval — re-confirm in new contexts.
