What it does

Cc Guide is an agent skill from mikeOnBreeze/cc-crossbeam. Claude Code documentation expert. This skill should be used when the user asks questions about Claude Code features, settings, hooks, skills, MCP servers, keyboard shortcuts, IDE integrations, Agent SDK, Claude API, or Anthropic SDK. Invoke with /cc-guide followed by a question. Examples: "/cc-guide how do hooks work", "/cc-guide what keyboard shortcuts are available", "/cc-guide how do I set up agent teams".

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM API integration, Building AI agents and Technical documentation. It works with Anthropic API and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: CrossBeam Permits — AI-assisted building-permit plan review for cities and builders. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks questions about Claude Code features
  • Keyboard shortcuts
  • IDE integrations

Example prompts

  • “/cc-guide how do hooks work”
  • “/cc-guide what keyboard shortcuts are available”
  • “/cc-guide how do I set up agent teams”
  • “/cc-guide”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Take the user's question from the skill arguments
  2. Spawn the claude-code-guide agent using the Task tool
  3. Summarize the agent's response back to the user in a clear, concise format
  4. If the agent was previously used in this conversation, resume it using the resume parameter with its agent ID to preserve context

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cc5591e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cc Guide loads about 668 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 305 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~668

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Claude Code documentation expert. This skill should be used when the user asks questions about Claude Code features, settings, hooks, skills, MCP servers, keyboard shortcuts, IDE integrations, Agent SDK, Claude API, or Anthropic SDK.

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

  1. Take the user's question from the skill arguments
  2. 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>
  3. Summarize the agent's response back to the user in a clear, concise format
  4. If the agent was previously used in this conversation, resume it using the resume parameter with its agent ID to preserve context

Topics the guide agent covers

  • Claude Code CLI features and settings
  • Hooks (pre/post tool hooks, event hooks like TeammateIdle, TaskCompleted)
  • MCP server configuration and usage
  • Skills (creating, installing, invoking)
  • Agent SDK (building custom agents with claude-opus-4-6)
  • Claude API / Anthropic SDK usage and tool use
  • Keyboard shortcuts and keybindings
  • IDE integrations (VS Code, JetBrains)
  • Agent teams (creating, coordinating, task lists, messaging)
  • Subagents and the Task tool
  • Permissions, CLAUDE.md files, project configuration
  • Slash commands and built-in commands

Response format

  • Be concise — answer the question directly
  • Use tables and code blocks where they help clarity
  • Include practical examples when relevant
  • Link to specific settings or config paths when applicable
