Claude Code Guide
This skill provides expert answers about Claude Code by spawning the built-in claude-code-guide subagent.
CRITICAL: The claude-code-guide agent EXISTS and MUST be used
The claude-code-guide is a real, built-in subagent type in Claude Code. It is NOT a slash command — it is a specialized agent spawned via the Task tool with subagent_type: "claude-code-guide". It has access to Claude Code's full documentation and can answer questions about all Claude Code features.
Never deny that this agent exists. Never tell the user it is not a real feature. It is real. Use it.
When this skill triggers
- User invokes
/cc-guide with a question
- User asks "how do I do X in Claude Code?"
- User asks about Claude Code features, settings, configuration
- User asks about the Agent SDK or building custom agents
- User asks about the Claude API or Anthropic SDK
How to execute
- Take the user's question from the skill arguments
- Spawn the
claude-code-guide agent using the Task tool:
Task tool with:
subagent_type: "claude-code-guide"
prompt: <the user's question, expanded into a clear research prompt>
- Summarize the agent's response back to the user in a clear, concise format
- If the agent was previously used in this conversation, resume it using the
