Master guide for configuring Claude Code with templates, prompting strategies, and debugging techniques.
Works with
Provides a CLAUDE.md configuration template for documenting project commands, code style rules, and agent workflows
Includes \"Thinking\" keywords like \"step-by-step analysis\" and \"root cause investigation\" to trigger deeper reasoning in agent responses
Offers debugging strategies for stuck agents: clearing context, using explicit instructions, and requesting verbose logs

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionclaude-code-guideExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches claude-code-guide from davila7/claude-code-templates and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate claude-code-guide. Access via /claude-code-guide in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

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.
CLAUDE.md)When starting a new project, create a CLAUDE.md file in the root directory to guide the agent.
# Project Guidelines
## Commands
- Run app: `npm run dev`
- Test: `npm test`
- Build: `npm run build`
## Code Style
- Use TypeScript for all new code.
- Functional components with Hooks for React.
- Tailwind CSS for styling.
- Early returns for error handling.
## Workflow
- Read `README.md` first to understand project context.
- Before editing, read the file content.
- After editing, run tests to verify.
Use these keywords in your prompts to trigger deeper reasoning from the agent:
If the agent is stuck or behaving unexpectedly:
grep or find to locate relevant files first.CLAUDE.md.Based on Claude Code Guide by zebbern.
