  • Works in 3 steps: Clear Context: Start a new session or… → Explicit Instructions: Be extremely… → Logs: Ask the agent to "check the logs"…

What it does

Claude Code Guide is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Master guide for using Claude Code effectively. Includes configuration templates, prompting strategies "Thinking" keywords, debugging techniques, and best practices for interacting with the agent.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Debugging. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Debugging

Example prompts

  • “Thinking”
  • “/claude-code-guide”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Clear Context: Start a new session or ask the agent to "forget previous instructions" if confused.
  2. Explicit Instructions: Be extremely specific about paths, filenames, and desired outcomes.
  3. Logs: Ask the agent to "check the logs" or "run the command with verbose output".

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Claude Code Guide loads about 535 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~535

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 204 words (~535 tokens).

“To provide a comprehensive reference for configuring and using Claude Code (the agentic coding tool) to its full potential. This skill synthesizes best practices, configuration templates, and advanced usage patterns.”
