About this skill
agent-code-guide
Purpose
To provide a comprehensive reference for configuring and using Agent Code (the agentic coding tool) to its full potential. This skill synthesizes best practices, configuration templates, and advanced usage patterns.
Configuration (CLAUDE.md)
When starting a new project, create a CLAUDE.md file in the root directory to guide the agent.
🧠 Knowledge Modules (Fractal Skills)
1. Template (General)
2. Thinking Keywords
3. Debugging
When not to use it
- →Non-agentic coding tasks
Limitations
- →Templates need project-specific adaptation
How it compares
It focuses on the meta-process of interacting with an agent rather than the code itself.

obra
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
openai-knowledge
openai
Use when working with the OpenAI API (Responses API) or OpenAI platform features (tools, streaming, Realtime API, auth, models, rate limits, MCP) and you need authoritative, up-to-date documentation (schemas, examples, limits, edge cases). Prefer the OpenAI Developer Documentation MCP server tools when available; otherwise guide the user to enable `openaiDeveloperDocs`.
openai-docs
openai
Use when the user asks how to build with OpenAI products or APIs and needs up-to-date official documentation with citations (for example: Codex, Responses API, Chat Completions, Apps SDK, Agents SDK, Realtime, model capabilities or limits); prioritize OpenAI docs MCP tools and restrict any fallback browsing to official OpenAI domains.

MicrosoftDocs
Create agent skills for Microsoft technologies using Learn MCP tools. Use when users want to create a skill that teaches agents about any Microsoft technology, library, framework, or service (Azure, .NET, M365, VS Code, Bicep, etc.). Investigates topics deeply, then generates a hybrid skill storing essential knowledge locally while enabling dynamic deeper investigation.
