Claude Code Collaboration Best Practices

This skill provides guidance on effectively using Claude Code in team environments, managing shared knowledge through skills, and maximizing value from AI-assisted development.

Core Principles

1. Skills are living documentation - They evolve as you learn
2. Capture knowledge explicitly - Claude doesn't auto-update skills
3. All skills live in $CLAUDE_METADATA - No local skills or commands in projects
4. Share knowledge across the team - Centralized repo ensures consistency
5. Version control your skills - Track changes and improvements
6. Be intentional about updates - Not everything learned needs to be captured

Critical: No Local Skills or Commands

ALL skills and commands MUST be in the $CLAUDE_METADATA repository, never in individual project directories.
