    πŸ€– AI teammates
    From Assistant to Operating System

    Claude Code transforms AI from a chat tool you visit into an operating system layer that runs across your entire workflow. It’s the difference between asking someone for help and having a capable teammate who can actually execute.

    2: What Claude Code Can Do

    πŸ“‚ Full File System Access

    Read, write, create, organize any file on your computer. No upload limits, no restrictions.
    Impact: “Process 10,000 files in minutes vs. hours of manual uploads”

    βš™οΈ Tool & Command Execution

    Run shell commands, execute scripts, manage Git, install packagesβ€”all through natural language.
    Impact: “Non-coders running bash commands without learning syntax”

    πŸ”Œ MCP Connections (200+ Tools)

    Connect to GitHub, Notion, Slack, Jira, databases, APIsβ€”Claude works inside your existing stack.
    Impact: “One interface for your entire tool ecosystem”

    πŸ€– Autonomous Multi-Agent Work

    Subagents work in parallel, checkpoints let you rewind, background tasks run while you work.
    Impact: “Delegate like you have 5 junior employees”

    6: Essential Commands
    Why Commands?

    Commands give you precise control. Instead of typing long instructions, one command triggers complex actions.

    Slash Commands (type / in Claude Code)
    CommandWhat It Does
    /helpShow all available commands
    /initCreate a CLAUDE.md for your project
    /clearReset context (use between tasks!)
    /compactCompress conversation to save tokens
    /modelSwitch between Opus 4.6/Sonnet 4.5/Haiku 4.5
    /costCheck token usage and costs
    /mcpCheck MCP server connections
    /reviewRequest code review of recent changes
    /doctorDiagnose installation issues
    /configOpen settings
    File References (type @ to reference)
    SyntaxExample
    @filename@report.csv
    @folder/@data/
    Tab keyAutocomplete paths
    Keyboard Shortcuts
    ActionKeys
    Cancel/StopEsc
    Rewind checkpointEsc twice
    Paste imageCtrl+V (not Cmd+V on Mac)

    7: Skills & CLAUDE.md

    CLAUDE.md (Project Memory)

    A markdown file that gives Claude permanent context about your project.

    Example CLAUDE.md: # Project: Marketing Dashboard ## Key Commands – npm run build – npm test ## Style Guide – Use TypeScript – Follow existing patterns ## Important Context – Main data source: /data/analytics.csv – Deploy target: Vercel
    Where to place:
    β€’ Global: ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md
    β€’ Project: /CLAUDE.md
    Create with: /init command
    8: Prompting Techniques
    TECHNIQUEWHEN TO USE
    Be SpecificAlways. “Clean this CSV” β†’ “Remove rows where column B is empty, dedupe on email”
    Give ExamplesWhen output format matters. Show 1-2 examples of what you want.
    Chain StepsComplex tasks. “First analyze, then summarize, then create action items”
    Set ConstraintsQuality control. “Max 500 words” or “Only use data from 2024”
    Assign RolesExpertise needed. “Act as a data analyst reviewing this dataset”
    Use /clear OftenBetween unrelated tasks to reset context

    Pro Pattern: Checkpoint + Iterate

    1. Ask Claude to make a plan first
    2. Review the plan before execution
    3. Let it create checkpoint
    4. Rewind (Esc twice) if something goes wrong
    5. Iterate with specific feedback
