What it does

Help is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. Interactive workspace discovery - learn what tools, workflows, agents, and hooks are available

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k 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 Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Context management for Claude Code. Hooks maintain state via ledgers and handoffs. MCP execution without context pollution. Agent orchestration with isolated context windows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/help”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): AskUserQuestion, Bash, Read, Glob, Grep

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • AskUserQuestion
    • Bash
    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv
    • just

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Help loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 208 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: AskUserQuestion, Bash, Read, Glob, Grep

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.

triggers: ["keyword1", "keyword2"]
allowed-tools: [Bash, Read, Edit]
priority: high
skills: [other-skill]  # Auto-load dependencies

Creating Custom Skills
bash
mkdir -p .claude/skills/my-skill
# Create .claude/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md with frontmatter
Creating Custom Agents
bash
# Create .claude/agents/my-agent.md with frontmatter

### /help <specific-name>

For specific skill/agent lookup:

1. Search for matching skill: `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`
2. Search for matching agent: `.claude/agents/<name>.md`
3. Read the file and display:
   - Description
   - Usage examples
   - When to use
   - Related skills/agents

## Dynamic Discovery

To keep help current, dynamically read frontmatter:

```bash
# List all skills with descriptions
for f in .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md; do
  head -10 "$f" | grep -E "^(name|description):"
done

# List all agents
for f in .claude/agents/*.md; do
  head -10 "$f" | grep -E "^(name|description):"
done

Example Interaction

User: /help

Claude:

What are you trying to do?

[ ] Explore/understand a codebase
    Find patterns, architecture, conventions

[ ] Fix a bug
    Investigate, diagnose, implement fix

[ ] Build a feature
    Plan, implement, test new functionality

[ ] Prove something mathematically
    Formal verification with Lean 4

[Other: describe your goal]

User selects: "Fix a bug"

Claude:

## Bug Fixing Tools

### Quick Path
Just describe the bug. I'll use the /fix workflow automatically.

### Manual Control
- **sleuth** agent: Deep investigation, root cause analysis
- **debug-agent**: Log analysis, state inspection
- **kraken** agent: TDD implementation of fix

### Commands
- `/fix` - Full workflow (investigate → diagnose → implement → test)
- `/debug` - Investigation only

### Tips
- Provide error messages, logs, reproduction steps
- The premortem hook will suggest risk analysis before implementation

Questions about Help

What does Help do?

Interactive workspace discovery - learn what tools, workflows, agents, and hooks are available. Help is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3.

When should I use Help?

Help fits situations like: agent Workflows work in your project.

How do I install Help in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill help -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/help in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3) into .claude/skills/help in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Help in Codex?

Run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill help -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/help in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3) into .agents/skills/help in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Help in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill help -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/help, .gemini/skills/help, .github/skills/help and .opencode/skills/help in your project.

What does Help need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Help needs the command-line tools its instructions call (uv and just). Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: AskUserQuestion, Bash, Read, Glob, Grep.

Does Help access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Help safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Help use?

Help is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Help use?

About 2.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 10k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Help?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Help: MCP Server Builder (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), Hook Development for Claude Code Plugins (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 38k stars), Using Superpowers (farm-fe/farm, 5.6k stars) and Executing Plans Inline (obra/superpowers, 296k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Help?

parcadei (a GitHub user) maintains it in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3, which has 3,940 GitHub stars. The repository holds 141 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on January 26, 2026.
