Steering a session

Teaching it your project

Permissions, safety and rules

More than one Claude

Outside the terminal

Making it real

Take one small repository from a bug nobody has found to a project Claude Code works in the way you want: a CLAUDE.md it follows, a skill it repeats, a hook it cannot argue with, subagents that keep your context clean, and a review that runs without you. Every terminal block on this site was captured from a real session.
