System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Modify the Claude Code harness itself: hooks (.sh), settings.json, agent definitions, and skill infrastructure. Delegates non-markdown file changes to an infrastructure-engineer agent with worktree isolation. Use when adding/modifying hooks, settings, or any non-markdown config in ~/.claude/.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Manages changes to the Claude Code harness — the hooks, settings.json, agent definitions, and skill infrastructure that control how the orchestrator and agents operate.
  • Delegates non-md file changes to an infrastructure-engineer (worktree isolation) to preserve safety and reproducibility.
  • Applies when adding or modifying hook scripts, JSON/YAML settings, agent definitions containing non-trivial logic, or any change to ~/.claude/ that is not a Markdown document.
  • Ensures changes are described, validated, and registered in settings for governance.

Quick Start

Describe the change, spawn an infrastructure-engineer with a worktree isolation, verify the change, and register it in settings.
