Using Skills

Claude Code (CLI):

Reference in your project or global CLAUDE.md:

# CLAUDE.md

When brainstorming, read and follow /path/to/claude-code-toolkit/skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md

Claude.ai (Web/Mobile/Desktop):

python build.py brainstorm
# Upload dist/brainstorm.skill to Claude.ai → Settings → Skills

Installing Hooks

1. Copy the hook script:

   cp hooks/auto-format/auto-format.sh ~/.claude/hooks/
   chmod +x ~/.claude/hooks/auto-format.sh

2. Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

           "matcher": "Edit|MultiEdit|Write",
           "hooks": [
             {
               "type": "command",
               "command": "$HOME/.claude/hooks/auto-format.sh"
             }
           ]
