Claude Code guides from a developer who uses it on client work every day: what Claude Code is, CLAUDE.md files, skills, plugins, hooks, subagents and MCP, with examples you can copy.
A plugin packages skills, agents, hooks and MCP servers into one install. Here is how marketplaces and scopes work, what an enabled plugin costs you, and how to build your own: the manifest, user settings and secrets, data folders and the mistakes that stop a plugin loading.
A curated, checked list of the Claude Code skills worth installing in 2026, each with its GitHub repository, licence and install command, followed by how skills load, how to control them and how to write your own.
CLAUDE.md is the file Claude Code reads at the start of every session. Here is where it lives, what to put in it, how imports and path-scoped rules work, how teams and monorepos manage it, and what survives compaction.
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool: it reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands and checks its own work. This guide covers how it works, how to install it, where the official docs are, how the extension system fits together and the workflow that gets reliable results.
