Overview

What you'll build

A production-style Claude Code project layout:

1. CLAUDE.md — team instructions (committed)
2. CLAUDE.local.md — personal overrides (gitignored)
3. .claude/settings.json — permissions and environment (committed)
4. .claude/rules/ — modular instruction files
5. .claude/skills/ — slash commands and auto-invoked workflows
6. .claude/agents/ — isolated subagent personas

Everything Claude needs about your project lives in one place — commit .claude/ to git so the whole team shares it.

Quick start

cd guides/claude-code-dot-claude
chmod +x install-template.sh
./install-template.sh /path/to/your-project
cd /path/to/your-project
claude

Inside Claude Code:

/init                    # optional: bootstrap CLAUDE.md from your repo
/project:code-review     # skill from template
/agents code-reviewer    # delegate review to subagent
