What is it?

This repository is a long, tip-by-tip guide to working effectively with Claude Code, Anthropic's terminal coding agent. Topics range from basic slash commands and voice input to context management, git and GitHub CLI workflows, running parallel sessions with worktrees, and isolating risky tasks in containers.

Beyond the written tips, it ships a sample status line script that shows the model, git branch, uncommitted file count, sync status and token usage bar, along with setup instructions. It also includes the dx plugin, a set of reusable skills such as a /handoff command for passing work between fresh agent sessions.

The guide is aimed at developers who already use Claude Code and want to get more out of it, from newcomers learning the basics to experienced users building their own workflows and orchestration setups.
