Coding Level

Set your coding experience level for tailored explanations and output format.

Usage

/ck:coding-level [0-5]

Levels

Level	Name	Description
0	ELI5	Zero coding experience - analogies, no jargon, step-by-step
1	Junior	0-2 years - concepts explained, WHY not just HOW
2	Mid-Level	3-5 years - design patterns, system thinking
3	Senior	5-8 years - trade-offs, business context, architecture
4	Tech Lead	8-10 years - risk assessment, business impact, strategy
5	God Mode	Expert - default behavior, maximum efficiency (default)

How It Works

1. Set codingLevel in .claude/.ck.json
2. Guidelines are automatically injected on every session start
3. No manual activation needed - it just works!

Example

Set level 1 in .claude/.ck.json:

{
  "codingLevel": 1,
  ...
}

Next session, Claude will automatically:

• Explain concepts and techniques clearly
• Always explain WHY, not just HOW
• Point out common mistakes
• Add "Key Takeaways" after implementations

Optional: Manual Output Styles

For finer control, you can also use /output-style with these styles:

• coding-level-0-eli5
• coding-level-1-junior
• coding-level-2-mid
• coding-level-3-senior
• coding-level-4-lead
• coding-level-5-god
