Git with an agent: commit, branch and assisted code review
The list of git operations auto mode refuses on its own, worktrees for parallel work, and why /rewind does not undo what a background review wrote.

Claude Code
Practical Claude Code guides: CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, subagents, MCP, permissions, cost and the workflow on a real project.
Plugins and marketplaces: how to evaluate before installing
The documentation says a plugin runs arbitrary code with your privileges. The five-minute checklist using the tools already shipping in Claude Code.

Skills vs subagents vs commands: which to use for what
One of the three stopped being a separate category. The four questions that pick the right mechanism, and the precedence table that flips order between them.

- skills
What each Claude Code usage pattern costs
48,000 real turns measured across 67 sessions. Where the money goes, why turn 400 costs three times turn 10, and how much compaction gives back.

The 18 Claude Code traps in a real project
Eighteen documented behaviors that degrade in silence. The list is organized by symptom: what you see before you know what caused it.

Context: why your agent forgets and how to fix it
Three mechanisms make Claude Code look forgetful, and each has its own fix. What compaction keeps, what it drops, and what costs you.

- context
Permissions and auto mode: what to clear and what to lock
Deny beats ask, which beats allow, and specificity changes nothing. Claude Code's three permission layers and the rules that look protective without protecting.

Claude Code, Codex and Cursor: what actually differs
All three adopted the same open standards and the feature comparison ended in a tie. What still differs is where context lives and who enforces restrictions.

Slash commands: turning a process into a command
A custom command became a skill. What changes: positional arguments, context injected before the agent sees it, and stacking up to six in one message.

MCP in practice: connecting Claude Code
The three installation scopes, the precedence that does not merge fields, and the trap of MCP's local scope, which differs from settings' local.

- mcp
Subagents: when to delegate and when not to
A subagent solves verbose context, not speed. And its precedence is the reverse of a skill's — which catches anyone running both under the same name.

- subagents
Hooks: the one layer that guarantees
A hook that denies blocks the tool even under bypassPermissions. Hooks tighten restrictions and never loosen them, and that is what makes them the policy layer.

Agent Skills: how to write your first one
A skill does not unload after use: its body enters the conversation and stays for the whole session. That changes how you write one and how many to install.

Claude Code in production: the real-work guide
Two serious studies of coding agents reached opposite results. The difference lies in the five layers you build around the agent.

CLAUDE.md: the anatomy of a file that works
CLAUDE.md is context delivered as a user message, not applied configuration. Understanding that changes what you write in it and what has to become a hook.
