Concepts (13)

Getting started & daily use

  • installation setup — install per platform, first run, login flows, credential storage
  • configuration — settings.json hierarchy (user/project/local/managed), env vars, config debugging
  • cli reference — commands, flags, print mode for CI, structured output, session resume
  • interactive mode — slash commands, keyboard shortcuts, vim mode, keybindings.json, fullscreen TUI
  • memory context — CLAUDE.md load order, imports, auto memory, context window & compaction
  • checkpointing — /rewind, restore vs summarize, what checkpoints do and don't track
  • permissions security — six permission modes, rule syntax, auto mode, sandboxing, security model

Extending & automating

  • skills system — SKILL.md anatomy, locations/precedence, context costs, when to use a skill
  • subagents orchestration — subagents, agent view, background sessions, teams, parallel patterns
  • hooks system — lifecycle events, hook types, exit-code/JSON contract, recipes, pitfalls
  • mcp integration — adding servers, scopes, OAuth, tool search at scale, org-level control
  • agent sdk — the Claude Agent SDK: when to use vs CLI, sessions, streaming, hosting
  • enterprise deployment — Bedrock/Vertex/gateways, managed settings, analytics, OTel, compliance

Entities (8)

  • desktop app — sessions, cowork, scheduled tasks, shortcuts, launch.json
  • ide extensions — VS Code + JetBrains: install, features, WSL2 notes
  • claude code web — cloud sessions, teleport, deep links, channels, Chrome beta
  • github actions — the @v1 action, managed code review, GHES support
  • gitlab cicd — GitLab CI/CD integration (beta, GitLab-maintained)
  • plugin marketplaces — marketplaces, the Claude directory, bundled plugins, /plugin commands
  • agent sdk typescript — TS SDK reference: query(), tools, sessions, v2 API removal note
  • agent sdk python — Python SDK reference: query() vs ClaudeSDKClient, @tool, options

Summaries (4)

  • changelog digest — version digest 2.1.156 → 2.1.172 with notable features per release
  • casebook install auth — solved cases: 529s, credential restrictions, usage-drain incident, Node-18 false positive
  • casebook runtime — solved cases: compaction failures, permission loops, Windows/WSL, Cowork blockers
  • best practices — the official best-practices guide + common workflows, distilled

Syntheses (5)

Gaps / TODO

  • raw/ lacks the dedicated VS Code extension doc (vs-code.md listed in llms.txt but not fetched) — ide extensions is medium-confidence on the VS Code half; fetch and upgrade on next ingest.
  • Dedicated routines (remote scheduled tasks) doc and standalone skills/sub-agents pages not in raw/ — covered via adjacent pages.
  • Claude Code releases multiple times per week — re-verify changelog digest and bump claude_code_version on each ingest.
