Router skill for Claude Code (the CLI tool itself). Contains intent hints and a dispatch table that maps a user's question to the surface-specific deep-reference file Claude should Read next. Use when the user asks about Claude Code internals: editing .claude/settings.json or settings.local.json, authoring or debugging hooks (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, Notification, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, SessionStart, SessionEnd, etc.), writing slash commands or agents, configuring MCP servers in .mcp.json, building plugins or marketplaces, setting ANTHROPIC_* / CLAUDE_* env vars, troubleshooting permission modes, understanding the ~/.claude/ directory layout, or asking "what does <feature> in Claude Code do". Skip: questions about the Anthropic Messages API (use anthropic-api), the Claude Agent SDK (use claude-agent-sdk), the MCP protocol spec (use mcp-spec), or general shell / git / programming topics not specific to Claude Code internals.

Migrates code, prompts, and API calls from Claude Sonnet 4.0/4.5 or Opus 4.1 to Opus 4.5, updating model strings on Anthropic, AWS, GCP, Azure platforms.
Breaks plans, specs, or PRDs into thin vertical-slice issues on the project issue tracker using tracer bullets. Useful for converting high-level work into grabbable implementation tickets.

This skill is auto-updated hourly. A matrix pipeline reads the upstream docs and rewrites the per-surface files below. Section structure is stable; content drifts to track upstream.
Read the surface file(s) matching the user's question. Each surface file holds its complete reference for that one topic and cross-links (via markdown links) to siblings when a fact spans surfaces — so you only need to Read the matching file(s), not all of them.
| Surface file | Read when the user asks about… |
|---|---|
SKILL-settings.md | settings.json, settings.local.json, project vs user vs local scope, settings keys / defaults / types |
SKILL-hooks.md | hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, Notification, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, SessionStart, SessionEnd), hook input/output JSON shapes, matchers, blocking vs non-blocking |
SKILL-slash-commands.md | slash command authoring, frontmatter schema, argument syntax, $ARGUMENTS, command discovery paths |
SKILL-mcp.md | .mcp.json schema, MCP transports (stdio / http / sse), server config, MCP tool naming, mcp__ prefix |
SKILL-plugins.md | plugin manifest (.claude-plugin/plugin.json), marketplaces (marketplace.json), plugin install / scope, plugin commands / agents / skills / hooks, CLI hint protocol (<claude-code-hint />) for recommending plugins from third-party CLIs |
SKILL-cli.md | CLI flags, subcommands, env vars (ANTHROPIC_* / CLAUDE_*), permission modes (default / acceptEdits / plan / bypassPermissions), ~/.claude/ directory layout, IDE integrations, session management (resume, naming, branching, picker, transcript storage) |
SKILL-known-issues.md | a user reports a bug, asks about a workaround, mentions an error message, or asks "why does X not work" |
