## CONCEPTS

> **Note:** Custom slash commands have been merged into skills. Files in `.claude/commands/` still work, but skills (`.claude/skills/`) are recommended as they support additional features like supporting files, invocation control, and subagent execution.

- **[Skills](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills)** - Reusable knowledge, workflows, and slash commands that Claude can load on-demand or you invoke with `/skill-name`
- **[Subagents](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents)** - Isolated execution contexts that run their own loops and return summarized results
- **[Memory](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory)** - Persistent context via CLAUDE.md files and `@path` imports that Claude sees every session
- **[Rules](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory#modular-rules-with-clauderules)** - Modular topic-specific instructions in `.claude/rules/*.md` with optional path-scoping via frontmatter
- **[Hooks](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks)** - Deterministic scripts that run outside the agentic loop on specific events
- **[MCP Servers](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp)** - Model Context Protocol connections to external tools, databases, and APIs
- **[Plugins](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins)** - Distributable packages that bundle skills, subagents, hooks, and MCP servers
- **[Marketplaces](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/discover-plugins)** - Host and discover plugin collections
- **[Settings](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings)** - Hierarchical configuration system for Claude Code behavior
- **[Permissions](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/iam)** - Fine-grained access control for tools and operations

**Extension Overview:** See [Extend Claude Code](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/features-overview) for when to use each feature and how they layer together.


## LESSON LEARNED

### Context Engineering
- [Humanlayer - Writing a good Claude.Md](https://www.humanlayer.dev/blog/writing-a-good-claude-md)

### Debugging
- always ask claude to run the terminal (you want to see logs of) as a background task for better debugging
- use claude in chrome to let claude see chrome console logs on its own

### Workflows
- [Ralph plugin with sandbox](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAtvoGlpeRU)
- [RPI - Research Plan Implement](https://github.com/humanlayer/advanced-context-engineering-for-coding-agents/blob/main/ace-fca.md)

## DOCS

### **[docs/AGENTS.md](docs/AGENTS.md)** - Agent Orchestration Best Practices
Learn how to properly orchestrate multiple agents, avoid common pitfalls when sub-agents aren't invoking, and implement sequential workflows using the Task tool.

### **[docs/PROMPTS.md](docs/PROMPTS.md)** - Invocation Patterns Reference
Quick reference tables showing how to invoke agents and commands from different contexts (CLI, other agents, other commands).

### **[docs/WEATHER.md](docs/WEATHER.md)** - Weather System Flow Documentation
Complete system architecture and flow diagram for the weather data fetching and transformation workflow, demonstrating real-world agent and command orchestration.
