Documentation

README

Excerpt

Claude Code Guide

Purpose

To provide a comprehensive reference for configuring and using Claude Code (the agentic coding tool) to its full potential. This skill synthesizes best practices, configuration templates, and advanced usage patterns.

Configuration (`CLAUDE.md`)

When starting a new project, create a CLAUDE.md file in the root directory to guide the agent.

Template (General)

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

AI Agents Architect

AI Agents Architect designs and builds autonomous AI agents, covering tool use, memory systems, planning strategies, and multi-agent orchestration. Use it when building or debugging AI agents that need function calling, planning loops, and controlled autonomy.

Agent Evaluation

Agent Evaluation tests and benchmarks LLM agents using behavioral contracts, capability assessments, reliability metrics, and adversarial testing to catch issues before production. Use it when evaluating agent reliability, designing benchmarks, or monitoring production agents.

Agent Management

Agent Management creates, manages, and orchestrates AI agents through the AI Maestro CLI, covering agent lifecycle tasks such as create, hibernate, wake, rename, export/import, and plugin management.

Agent Manager

Agent Manager starts, stops, monitors, and assigns tasks to multiple local CLI agents running in tmux sessions, with cron-friendly scheduling. Use it when you need to run agents in parallel and tail their logs.

Agent Memory MCP

Agent Memory MCP provides a persistent, searchable memory bank for AI agents, exposing MCP tools to search, write, read, and analyze project knowledge. Use it when an agent needs long-term memory synced with project documentation.

Agent Memory Systems

Agent Memory Systems describes architectures for short-term, long-term, and working memory in AI agents, including vector store selection, chunking strategies, and retrieval patterns. Use it when designing or debugging agent memory to prevent retrieval failures that look like intelligence failures.

Architecture Decision Records

Architecture Decision Records captures architectural decisions made during Claude Code sessions as structured ADRs, recording context, alternatives, and rationale. Use it when significant technical choices are made so future developers understand why the codebase is shaped the way it is.

AI-First Engineering

AI-First Engineering defines process, review, and architecture standards for teams where AI agents produce most implementation output. Use it to set ownership rules, quality gates, and evaluation criteria for agent-generated code.

Agentic OS

Agentic OS codifies a persistent multi-agent operating system architecture for Claude Code. Use it when building a multi-agent workflow with file-based memory, slash commands, and scheduled automation that survives session restarts.
