Source
Quick start:

These sections are written to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and loaded into every Claude Code conversation. They shape how Claude communicates, handles errors, manages files, and follows your preferences. Mix and match to build the behavior profile you want.

These configure ~/.claude/settings.json, which controls tool permissions, safety rules, and hooks. Permissions determine which CLI commands Claude can run without asking. The deny list blocks dangerous operations regardless of other settings.

Slash commands are markdown files saved to ~/.claude/commands/. Type /command-name in Claude Code to run them. They act as reusable prompts that automate common workflows.

Project Management

Commands for tracking project state, generating changelogs, creating pull requests, deploying, and keeping documentation in sync. They work together with the Project State Management section in CLAUDE.md to maintain a consistent workflow across all your projects.

Socratic Probes

A document analysis framework that examines proposals, research, or any written argument through six critical lenses. Run them individually for targeted analysis, or use /probe-start to launch all six in parallel and get a synthesized evaluation. Adapted from ds1/socratic-probes.
