What it is
This is a collection of guides, examples and tips for Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding tool. It covers features such as subagents, commands, skills, hooks, MCP servers, settings and memory files, with links to official docs and to example implementations. It is aimed at people who want to learn good habits for working with Claude Code rather than at people installing a program.
- Look up where subagents, commands, skills or settings files belong in a project using the concept table
- Copy example files such as agent, command or skill configurations as starting points
- Read the linked best-practice write-ups on memory, settings, or MCP setup
- Follow the linked orchestration workflow example to see how multiple steps are chained
Great for
- Developers who are new to Claude Code and want an organized overview of its features
- Developers already using Claude Code who want examples of project setup such as CLAUDE.md, agents and skills
- Teams looking for shared conventions for agent-based coding workflows
- Students learning how AI coding agents are configured
Not ideal for
- People looking for a standalone app to install, since the README describes a guide rather than a program
- Readers who want a neutral comparison of AI coding tools, because the repo focuses on Claude Code
- Anyone needing the authoritative behavior of a feature, since the official Claude Code docs are the source for that
How to get it
- 1
Read it online
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/shanraisshan/claude-code-best-practice - 2
Run it
- Open the README and read the Concepts table to see the main Claude Code features
- Follow the best-practice link for the feature you care about, such as subagents or memory
- Look at the matching implementation file to see a working example
- Copy a relevant example into your own project's .claude folder and adjust it
- 3
Get the most out of it
- Use the Concepts table as an index and open the linked best-practice and implementation pages side by side
- Check the Hot section for newer features, and verify beta status in the official docs before relying on them
- Read the orchestration workflow example to see how commands and agents can be combined
- Follow the official Claude Code docs links for the authoritative behavior of each feature
Downloads
Strengths
- Organized by feature with links to official docs and examples for each
- Large community interest, with a high star count and an MIT license
- Covers both basics and newer beta features, labeled as such in the README
Trade-offs
- The README is truncated and many linked pages were not reviewed, so depth is hard to judge
- Heavily tied to Claude Code, and features listed as beta may change
- Much of the content is links to other pages, so it can be hard to know where to start
