Personal Claude Code reference

Commands, skills, keyboard shortcuts, and best practices for Claude Code — collected in one place.

This is my personal library for Claude Code — short, practical pages I come back to whenever I forget how something works. No long explanations: just the command, what it does, and an example.

The sections at a glance

Commands

Every slash command — /init, /compact, /model, /permissions, and the rest.

Skills

What skills are, where they live, and how to write your own SKILL.md.

Shortcuts and tricks

Shift+Tab, double Esc, and the !, #, and @ prefixes.

Tips

CLAUDE.md, plan mode, worktrees, subagents — how to work efficiently.

If you only have two minutes

These four things change how you work with Claude Code more than anything else:

Write a CLAUDE.md

Run /init in your project. The file is read at the start of every session and saves you endless re-explaining — details in Tips.

Plan before you write

Press Shift+Tab to reach plan mode for larger changes. Claude proposes a plan first, then touches the code.

Keep the context clean

/clear between unrelated tasks, /compact once a session gets long.

Delegate the big jobs

Subagents (/agents) and skills keep your main context small and focused.
