Claude Code Architecture Patterns

Skill by ara.so — Claude Code Skills collection.

This skill provides expertise in the architectural patterns, design principles, and implementation strategies extracted from Anthropic's Claude Code agent. Use these patterns to build production-grade AI coding agents with robust state management, efficient tool execution, multi-agent orchestration, and context management.

What This Provides

Claude Code from Source is a comprehensive technical analysis of Claude Code's architecture, distilled into 18 chapters covering:

• Agent Loop Architecture: AsyncGenerator-based control flow
• Tool Execution: Concurrent-safe batching and speculative execution
• Multi-Agent Orchestration: Fork agents, task coordination, swarms
• State Management: Two-tier architecture with bootstrap singleton and AppState
• Context Management: 4-layer compression, prompt cache optimization
• Memory Systems: File-based memory with LLM recall
• Performance: Token budgets, cache sharing, rendering optimization
