Claude Code for Real Teams
Organized for real adoption: setup, tutorials, daily workflow, configuration, team rollout, and deep reference — in the order a team can actually absorb it.

The Six-Step Loop
The backbone of every reliable Claude Code session. No production behavior change until a failing verification artifact exists.
What's New in v3
TODO Lists & Tasks
Use Claude's built-in task tracking to ensure complete execution of multi-step work. The #1 underused reliability feature.
The Ratchet Pattern
Quality only moves forward — never backward. Once a gate passes, it must keep passing. The pattern top teams use.
Context Mastery
The #1 resource to manage is your context window. Learn /btw, subagents, compaction, and targeted reading.
Company MCP Servers
Connect Claude Code to GitHub, Jira, Notion, Sentry, and your team's internal tools safely.
Learning Path
Follow this order. Each step builds on the last — no big jumps.
1. Getting Started
Install, sign in, terminal setup, bootstrap with /init
2. Tutorials (13 pages)
Commands → features → TODO → context → skills → MCP → hooks → project setup
3. Daily Workflow
The repeatable loop for everyday coding with the six-step rhythm
4. Configuration
Repo baseline only after the workflow is comfortable
Guiding Principles
Claude performs dramatically better when it can verify its own work — run tests, compare screenshots, validate outputs. Without success criteria, you become the only feedback loop and every mistake requires your attention. — Official Anthropic Best Practices
Claude's context window holds your entire conversation, every file read, every command output. It fills up fast and performance degrades as it fills. Managing context is the most important operational skill you can develop.
Learn the session loop first. Add shared repo structure only after the team understands how good Claude Code work feels day to day. Configuration you don't understand becomes mysterious friction.
Quick Bootstrap
If you just want to get the recommended project files into your repo right now:
# 1. Install Claude Code
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
# 2. Start Claude Code and sign in with the team account
claude
# 3. Bootstrap the project (generates CLAUDE.md from your codebase)
/init
# 4. Download the starter kit from the Project Setup page →
# Unzip into your repo root to get .claude/ with hooks, rules, skills, and agent
