Example Scenarios

Creating Your First Skill

You: "I want to create a skill for processing markdown files"
Claude: [Uses claude-code-config skill]

        Let me help you create a markdown processing skill.

        First, I'll create the directory structure:
        ~/.claude/skills/markdown-processor/SKILL.md

        [Creates skill with proper YAML frontmatter and instructions]

Setting Up Context7 MCP

You: "Help me set up Context7 to get up-to-date library docs"
Claude: [Uses claude-code-config skill]

        I'll help you install and configure Context7 MCP server.

        Here are the steps:
        1. Add to your settings.json...
        2. Get an API key from context7.com...
        3. Configure permissions...

Building a Code Review Subagent

You: "Create a subagent that reviews code for security issues"
Claude: [Uses claude-code-config skill]

        I'll create a security-focused code review subagent.

        [Creates ~/.claude/agents/security-reviewer.md with:
         - Proper YAML configuration
         - Security checklist
         - Tool restrictions
         - Clear instructions]
