This is a broad, actively maintained reference for Claude Code users, best suited to learning and adapting practices rather than installing a ready-made product.
Good fit if
- You use Claude Code and want examples and source-linked guidance across its configuration and agent features.
- You are building repeatable workflows and want to compare orchestration, review, and context-management approaches.
- You are comfortable judging and adapting community guidance to your own project and Claude Code version.
Look elsewhere if
- You need a standalone application, hosted service, or general-purpose agent framework; this repository is a guide and example collection.
- You want a single prescribed workflow rather than a catalog spanning multiple approaches and external projects.
- Your team needs a packaged integration for another coding assistant; the material is centered on Claude Code.

Overview
This repository is a living reference for developers using Claude Code. It organizes guidance on features such as agents, skills, commands, hooks, settings, and memory, and connects those concepts to example implementations and development workflows.
It addresses the gap between knowing Claude Code's features and applying them consistently: readers can compare patterns, follow a sample orchestration workflow, and explore advice linked to its sources. It is a guide and collection of examples, not a standalone coding agent or software package.
Key Features
- Organizes Claude Code concepts by feature, with links to relevant documentation and best-practice notes.
- Includes implementation examples for settings, memory, agents, commands, skills, and agent teams.
- Demonstrates a command-to-agent-to-skill orchestration pattern with a sample command and workflow diagram.
- Collects development workflow patterns, including research, planning, execution, review, and shipping.
- Summarizes practical tips for prompting, context management, sessions, skills, hooks, testing, and Git.
- Links advice to source material such as Claude Code documentation, team posts, videos, and community contributions.
- Surveys related workflow repositories, cross-model integrations, and skill and agent collections.
Use Cases
- A developer new to Claude Code can use the concept index to find relevant features and examples before setting up a personal workflow.
- A team adopting Claude Code can compare ways to encode recurring practices as shared commands, skills, settings, or project memory.
- An experienced user can look up focused guidance on context management, parallel agents, hooks, or code review when refining an existing process.
- A developer exploring multi-step automation can try the included orchestration example and review how commands, agents, and skills fit together.

Getting Started
Start Claude Code in a project containing the repository files, then try the documented orchestration command:
claude
/weather-orchestrator
See the README for the concept index, examples, and source links.
Alternatives
- cc-polymath: It provides focused, load-on-demand Claude Code skills, while claude-code-best-practice is a curated guide to practices, workflows, and configuration.
- andrej-karpathy-skills: It offers a compact set of coding guidelines based on Karpathy’s observations, rather than a broad guide to Claude Code configuration and workflows.

Considerations
The repository is active, with regular recent commits and ongoing issue and pull-request activity. It has no release history in the measured past year, which is consistent with a maintained reference rather than a versioned software package. Work is spread across multiple contributors, without the measured contributor concentration flag.
The README links to a wide range of official and community material, so guidance may vary in scope and should be checked against current Claude Code documentation. The supplied project data lists no runtime, container, or test requirements, but using its Claude Code examples requires Claude Code itself. Its MIT license permits broad reuse subject to the license terms.
