- Integrate with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
- Pipe data through Claude for structured analysis

**Context Management**
- Maintain awareness of entire project structure
- Access external data via MCP (Google Drive, Figma, Slack)
- Resume conversations with full context restoration

### Key Features

**Unix Philosophy**
```bash
# Composable and scriptable
tail -f app.log | claude -p "Slack me if you see anomalies"

# Pipe in, pipe out
cat build-error.txt | claude -p "explain root cause" > output.txt

# Control output format
claude -p "analyze code" --output-format json > analysis.json
```

**Direct Action Capability**
- Edit files, run commands, create commits
- MCP access to external tools and datasources
- Enterprise-grade security and compliance

**Intelligent Context**
- File and directory references with `@`
- Image analysis for screenshots and diagrams
- Full conversation history with resume/continue

## Subagent Best Practices

### When to Create Subagents

**Create specialized subagents when:**
- Tasks have clear, focused responsibilities (code review, testing, debugging)
- Different tool access levels needed (security-sensitive operations)
- Separate context windows improve efficiency (prevent context pollution)
- Workflows are reusable across projects (formatting, linting, analysis)

**Don't create subagents when:**
- Task is one-off or highly specific to current context
- Main conversation has sufficient context
- Task requires full project context (better in main thread)

### Subagent Configuration Pattern

```markdown
---
name: your-agent-name
description: [When to use - be specific and action-oriented]
tools: [List of specific tools or omit to inherit all]
model: inherit  # Use same model as main conversation
---

[Detailed system prompt with]:
1. Clear role definition
2. Specific instructions and constraints
3. Success criteria
4. Error handling approach
5. Communication patterns
```

### Parallel Subagent Execution

**CRITICAL: Use SINGLE message with multiple Task tool calls for parallel execution**

Parallel execution provides 2-5x speedup:
- Frontend + Backend + Quality agents run simultaneously
- Multiple feature implementations in parallel
- Independent validation and testing concurrently

**Example parallel execution:**
Send ONE message with multiple Task calls, not sequential messages.

### Effective Subagent Delegation

**Automatic Delegation**
- Write action-oriented `description` fields
- Include "use PROACTIVELY" or "MUST BE USED" for automatic invocation
- Match task descriptions to subagent expertise

**Explicit Invocation**
```
> Use the code-reviewer subagent to check my recent changes
> Have the debugger subagent investigate this error
```

**Chaining Subagents**
```
> First use code-analyzer to find issues, then optimizer to fix them
```

## Hook System Architecture

### Hook Events

**PreToolUse** - Before tool execution (can block)
- Validation before file edits, bash commands
- Security checks for sensitive operations
- Custom permission logic

**PostToolUse** - After tool execution
- Automatic formatting (prettier, gofmt)
- Logging and audit trails
- Follow-up automation

**UserPromptSubmit** - When user submits prompt
- Context injection before Claude processes
- Prompt enhancement and validation
- Custom workflow triggers

**Notification** - When Claude Code sends notifications
- Custom notification systems (desktop, Slack, email)
- Escalation logic
- User feedback

**Stop / SubagentStop** - When Claude finishes
- Session cleanup
- Result aggregation
- Next-step triggers

**PreCompact** - Before context optimization
- State preservation
- Context backup
- Cleanup operations

**SessionStart / SessionEnd** - Session lifecycle
- Environment setup
- Resource cleanup
- Analytics and tracking

### Hook Implementation Patterns

**File Protection Hook**
```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [{
      "matcher": "Edit|Write",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": ".claude/hooks/protect-files.py"
      }]
    }]
  }
}
```

**Auto-Format Hook**
```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "PostToolUse": [{
      "matcher": "Edit|Write",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": ".claude/hooks/auto-format.sh"
      }]
    }]
  }
}
```

**Context Injection Hook**
```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "UserPromptSubmit": [{
      "matcher": "",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": ".claude/hooks/inject-context.py"
      }]
    }]
  }
}
```

### Hook Input/Output Format

**Input** (via stdin as JSON):
```json
{
  "session_id": "abc123",
  "cwd": "/project/path",
  "tool_name": "Edit",
  "tool_input": {
    "file_path": "/path/to/file.ts",
    "old_string": "...",
    "new_string": "..."
  }
}
```

**Output** (exit codes + optional JSON to stdout):
- Exit 0: Success, continue
- Exit 2: Blocking error, prevent action
- JSON output for sophisticated control

**Example blocking response:**
```json
{
  "decision": "block",
  "feedback": "Cannot edit .env files. Use .env.example instead."
}
```

## Custom Slash Commands

### Command Structure

**Project Commands** (`.claude/commands/`)
- Shared with team via version control
- Available to all developers in project
- Context-specific workflows

**User Commands** (`~/.claude/commands/`)
- Personal workflows across all projects
- Not shared with team
- Consistent patterns across codebases

**Command File Format**
```markdown
<!-- .claude/commands/optimize.md -->
Analyze the performance of this code and suggest three specific optimizations:
1. Algorithmic improvements
2. Memory efficiency
3. I/O optimizations

$ARGUMENTS
```

**Using $ARGUMENTS**
```bash
# Create command with placeholder
echo 'Fix issue #$ARGUMENTS with tests and PR' > .claude/commands/fix.md

# Use with arguments
/fix 123  # Replaces $ARGUMENTS with "123"
```

### Command Best Practices

**Do:**
- Create focused commands for common workflows
- Use descriptive names (optimize, review, test, deploy)
- Include $ARGUMENTS for flexibility
- Document expected inputs in command prompt

**Don't:**
- Create overly generic commands
- Duplicate functionality of built-in commands
- Include sensitive data in commands

## Plan Mode for Safe Analysis

### When to Use Plan Mode

**Perfect for:**
- Multi-step implementations requiring many file edits
- Thorough codebase exploration before changes
- Complex refactoring with safety verification
- Interactive planning with iteration

**Enable Plan Mode:**
```bash
# Start session in plan mode
claude --permission-mode plan

# Toggle during session
Shift+Tab (cycles through Normal → Auto-Accept → Plan)

# Headless plan query
claude --permission-mode plan -p "Analyze auth system"
```

**Configure as default:**
```json
// .claude/settings.json
{
  "permissions": {
    "defaultMode": "plan"
  }
}
```

### Plan Mode Workflow

1. **Exploration Phase**: Read-only analysis of codebase
2. **Planning Phase**: Create detailed implementation plan
3. **Refinement Phase**: Iterate with follow-up questions
4. **Exit to Execute**: Switch to normal mode for implementation

## MCP Integration

### Available MCP Features

**Resource Access**: `@server:resource` syntax
```
> Show me @github:repos/owner/repo/issues
> Analyze @figma:file/ABC123/design
> Review @gdrive:documents/project-spec
```

**Tool Invocation**: MCP tools available to Claude
- Database queries
- External API calls
- Custom developer tooling
- Service integrations

**Subagent MCP Access**
- Omit `tools` field to inherit all MCP tools
- Specify tools list to restrict access
- MCP tools shown in `/agents` interface

### MCP Best Practices

**Do:**
- Use MCP for external data that Claude needs
- Leverage MCP tools in subagents for specialized tasks
- Combine MCP resources with file references

**Don't:**
- Overload context with excessive MCP data
- Use MCP for data already in codebase
- Expose sensitive MCP resources unnecessarily

## Advanced Workflows

### Parallel Sessions with Git Worktrees

**Setup:**
```bash
# Create worktrees for parallel work
git worktree add ../project-feature-a -b feature-a
git worktree add ../project-bugfix -b bugfix-123

# Run Claude in each
cd ../project-feature-a && claude
cd ../project-bugfix && claude
```

**Benefits:**
- Complete code isolation between sessions
- Simultaneous feature development
- No context interference
- Independent file states

### Unix-Style Automation

**Linting Integration:**
```json
// package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "lint:claude": "claude -p 'lint changes vs main, report filename:line'"
  }
}
```

**Piped Analysis:**
```bash
# Error analysis
cat error.log | claude -p "explain root cause" > explanation.txt

# Code review
git diff main | claude -p "review these changes" --output-format json
```

**Output Formats:**
- `--output-format text`: Plain response (default)
- `--output-format json`: Full conversation with metadata
- `--output-format stream-json`: Real-time JSON objects

### Extended Thinking

**When to Use:**
- Complex architectural decisions
- Challenging debugging sessions
- Multi-step implementation planning
- Evaluating tradeoffs

**Enable Extended Thinking:**
```bash
# Toggle with Tab key during session
Tab (toggles Thinking on/off)

# Prompt triggers
> think about the best approach
> think hard about edge cases
> think more about security implications
```

**Configure permanently:**
```bash
# Environment variable
export MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=10000
```

## Common Claude Code Patterns

### Codebase Understanding

```
# High-level overview
> give me an overview of this codebase

# Architecture patterns
> explain the main architecture patterns used here

# Specific subsystems
> how is authentication handled?
> what are the key data models?
```

### Debugging Workflow

```
# Share error
> I'm seeing an error when I run npm test

# Get recommendations
> suggest a few ways to fix the @ts-ignore in user.ts

# Apply fix
> update user.ts to add the null check you suggested
```

### Refactoring Pattern

```
# Identify legacy code
> find deprecated API usage in our codebase

# Get suggestions
> suggest how to refactor utils.js to use modern JavaScript

# Apply safely
> refactor utils.js while maintaining same behavior

# Verify
> run tests for refactored code
```

### Testing Workflow

```
# Find gaps
> find functions in NotificationsService that lack tests

# Generate tests
> add tests for the notification service

# Add edge cases
> add test cases for edge conditions

# Run and fix
> run the new tests and fix any failures
```

### Pull Request Creation

```
# Summarize changes
> summarize changes I've made to auth module

# Create PR
> create a pr

# Enhance description
> enhance PR description with security improvements context

# Add testing details
> add information about how changes were tested
```

## Security Considerations

**Hook Security:**
- Review all hook scripts before registering
- Hooks run with your credentials automatically
- Malicious hooks can exfiltrate data
- Use PreToolUse hooks to block unsafe operations

**Subagent Security:**
- Limit tools to minimum necessary
- Don't grant file system access to untrusted agents
- Review agent prompts for unintended behavior
- Use separate agents for sensitive operations

**MCP Security:**
- Audit MCP server permissions carefully
- Limit resource access scope
- Use read-only resources when possible
- Monitor MCP tool usage

## Common Mistakes to Avoid

**Workflow Violations:**
- ❌ Creating too many similar subagents (consolidate)
- ❌ Not using parallel execution (loses 2-5x speedup)
- ❌ Skipping plan mode for complex changes (risky)
- ❌ Ignoring hook exit codes (breaks automation)

**Configuration Violations:**
- ❌ Overly broad tool access for subagents (security risk)
- ❌ Not testing hooks before deployment (breaks workflows)
- ❌ Duplicating commands across user/project (maintenance burden)
- ❌ Missing $ARGUMENTS in flexible commands (reduces reusability)

**Context Violations:**
- ❌ Overloading subagent context (use focused agents)
- ❌ Not using @ references for files (inefficient)
- ❌ Excessive MCP resource inclusion (bloats context)
- ❌ Missing conversation resume (loses progress)
