Frequently Asked Questions about claude-code-features

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create custom slash commands in Claude Code?▼

Define slash commands by creating command entries in your project or global CLAUDE.md file with custom prompts and parameters. Each `/command-name` executes a reusable prompt you specify, automating repetitive tasks and ensuring consistency across your workflow.

What are skills in Claude Code and how do I integrate them?▼

Skills are project-specific or personal knowledge modules that extend Claude's capabilities. Integrate skills by referencing them in CLAUDE.md or through the SKILL.md frontmatter structure, giving Claude domain expertise and custom workflows tailored to your codebase.

How can I automate tasks before or after tool use with hooks?▼

Hooks are automated scripts triggered before or after Claude performs actions like edits or reads. Configure PreToolUse and PostToolUse hooks in CLAUDE.md to run linters, pre-checks, post-processing, or notifications, streamlining your development pipeline without manual intervention.

Can I integrate MCP servers with Claude Code?▼

Yes, MCP servers extend Claude Code's capabilities by providing external tool integrations. Wire MCP servers through CLAUDE.md configuration to connect specialized services and protocols into your Claude workflow.

What's the difference between project-level and global CLAUDE.md files?▼

CLAUDE.md hierarchy lets you layer configuration: global settings apply across all projects, while project-level CLAUDE.md overrides them for specific codebases. This structure lets you share common extensibility across projects while customizing per-project needs.

What permissions and controls can I set on skills and hooks?▼

Skills and hooks respect allowed-tools and permission controls defined in SKILL.md frontmatter and CLAUDE.md. These controls restrict which operations each skill or hook can execute, protecting your workflow from unintended side effects.
