Power Tools
Part 2 — Power Tools
Part 2 turns a working setup into real fluency. Once you can hold a conversation with Claude Code, these lessons show you how to extend it: slash commands and your own custom commands, reusable skills, hooks that automate steps, plugins that bundle it all together, subagents that take on focused side tasks, and a great CLAUDE.md that gives the agent durable project memory. Each lesson is hands-on and builds toward a real workflow you can use every day.
