# 1. Go to the project
cd ~/my-web-app

# 2. Unzip fullstack-claude-setup.zip at the project root
unzip fullstack-claude-setup.zip

# 3. Make scripts executable
chmod +x .claude/skills/coding-workflow/scripts/*.sh

# 4. Edit CLAUDE.md for your actual project
nano CLAUDE.md

# 5. Add to git (share with the team)
git add CLAUDE.md .claude/
git commit -m "chore: add Claude Code workflow setup"

8-2. Global Install (Auto-Applied to All Projects)

# 1. Install the skill globally (once)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r coding-workflow ~/.claude/skills/coding-workflow
chmod +x ~/.claude/skills/coding-workflow/scripts/*.sh

# 2. Add Hooks to the global settings.json (once)
# Write Hook JSON into ~/.claude/settings.json

# 3. After that, just write CLAUDE.md in each project
cd ~/project-a && nano CLAUDE.md
cd ~/project-b && nano CLAUDE.md
Install Location Target Notes
Global (~/.claude/) Skill + Hook Install once, shared across all projects
Per-project (my-app/) CLAUDE.md Different content per project

If you work solo, global is easiest; for team work, include it at the project level in git.


[09] Verifying It Works

9-1. claude.ai (web/app)

1
2
Settings > Capabilities > confirm Code execution is enabled
Customize > Skills > confirm the toggle is ON in the list

9-2. Claude Code (CLI)

# Debug mode — see skill loading and Hook execution in real time
claude --debug

# Inside a session, list hooks
/hooks

# Invoke a skill directly via slash command
/coding-workflow

# Verify file presence
ls ~/.claude/skills/coding-workflow/SKILL.md

9-3. Functional Testing

In a Claude Code session, ask for “create a simple function”. If everything is applied correctly:

  1. It checks out or creates the claude-bot branch
  2. It adds a role-explaining comment at the top of the file
  3. It commits using Conventional Commits format
  4. After the response ends, Hooks automatically run comment checks/commits

9-4. When the Skill Doesn’t Trigger

Symptom Fix
Skill isn’t visible at all Check the file path and that SKILL.md exists
Visible but doesn’t auto-trigger Make the description keywords more specific
Triggers only sometimes Force a reminder via UserPromptSubmit Hook
Even slash command fails Check the name field in frontmatter

[10] Skill’s Advanced Structure: Progressive Disclosure

10-1. Simple Skill vs Advanced Skill

Simple (SKILL.md only): Rule-conveyance focused. Write “do it this way” and Claude reads and follows it.

Advanced (with subdirectories): SKILL.md becomes the commander, referencing subfiles at the right moment.

coding-workflow/
├── SKILL.md          <- Level 2: core rules + pointers to "what to read when"
├── agents/           <- Level 3: subagent instructions (code review, etc.)
├── references/       <- Level 3: detailed docs (comment formats, git commands, etc.)
├── scripts/          <- Level 3: executable code (called by Hook)
└── assets/           <- Level 3: templates, icons, static resources

10-2. Role of Each Directory

Directory Role Load Timing
agents/ Instructions for tasks delegated to subagents For specific tasks like review/analysis
references/ Reference docs loaded into context When SKILL.md directs
scripts/ Shell/Python scripts to execute directly When called by Hook or run by Claude
assets/ HTML templates, static files During output generation

[11] Agent Team Collaboration Guide

A guide for organizing multiple agents into a team on Ubuntu 24.04 + Claude Code.

    O["Orchestrator\n(work distribution, review, integration)"]
    O --> FE["Frontend Agent\nclaude-bot/frontend"]
    O --> BE["Backend Agent\nclaude-bot/backend"]
    O --> DO["DevOps Agent\nclaude-bot/devops"]

    style BE fill:#e8f5e9,stroke:#2e7d32
    style DO fill:#f3e5f5,stroke:#6a1b9a

11-2. Collaboration Rules

  1. Each agent works on its own branch (claude-bot/<role>)
  2. Use WORK_LOG.md as a shared medium — read before work, write after
  3. State agent identifiers — e.g., [frontend-agent]
  4. Mark files under modification — in WORK_LOG.md
  5. Orchestrator merges — periodically integrate branches

11-3. Benefits of Project-Level Install

Including the .claude/ folder in git:

1
2
git add .claude/ CLAUDE.md
git commit -m "chore: add Claude workflow setup"

Whichever agent opens this project gets the same Skills + Hooks applied automatically.


[12] Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do I need to copy CLAUDE.md into every project?

Yes. CLAUDE.md holds per-project context (tech stack, directory structure, etc.) and thus varies. Skills and Hooks, however, can be installed globally once and shared by all projects.

Q: What if my Skill doesn’t auto-trigger?

Realistically, Skill auto-triggering is not 100% reliable. That’s why we pair it with Hooks. Use a UserPromptSubmit Hook to remind the skill rules every request.

Q: How do I auto-generate diagrams after coding is done?

Three approaches:

Level Method Characteristics
Level 1 Ask “draw an architecture diagram” No setup needed
Level 2 Specify diagram rules in Skill Consistent output
Level 3 Add a prompt-type Stop Hook Fully automated

Q: Does claude.ai (web) work the same way?

No, there’s a big difference. On claude.ai web, only Skill is available; Hook and CLAUDE.md are Claude Code (CLI) only. For a detailed comparison, see section [03] of Part 1.

1
2
claude.ai web:  Skill only O (Hook X, CLAUDE.md X)
Claude Code:    Skill O + Hook O + CLAUDE.md O (all available)

Q: Getting a zip error when uploading to claude.ai web?

The error “SKILL.md must be in the top-level folder” means the zip structure is wrong. claude.ai web requires SKILL.md to be right under the top-level folder:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
## Correct structure (coding-workflow-for-web.zip):
coding-workflow/
├── SKILL.md          <- here (right under top-level folder)
├── agents/
└── references/

## Wrong structure (fullstack-claude-setup.zip):
.claude/skills/coding-workflow/
└── SKILL.md          <- too deep

fullstack-claude-setup.zip is for installing into a Claude Code project, not for web upload. Use a separate coding-workflow-for-web.zip for the web.

Q: Are Skills different for claude.ai vs Claude Code?

The SKILL.md file format is identical. However, packaging and feature scope differ:

Item claude.ai web Claude Code
Install Zip upload (Customize > Skills) Folder copy (~/.claude/skills/)
Zip structure SKILL.md at top Under .claude/skills/
Auto-trigger O (description-based) O + slash commands
Hook integration X O Hook calls scripts/
agents/ Limited (subagent restrictions) O Fully supported
Debug X O claude --debug

Q: Do I have to keep both zip files?

If you plan to use Claude Code, install globally and then both zips can be deleted:

1
2
3
4
# Global install (once)
cp -r coding-workflow ~/.claude/skills/coding-workflow
# Add Hooks to ~/.claude/settings.json
# -> After this, you can delete the zip and just write CLAUDE.md for new projects

For claude.ai web only, upload coding-workflow-for-web.zip; after uploading you can delete the zip.


[Appendix A] The 4 Rules of the coding-workflow Skill

Rule Content
Rule 1: File comments Write role-explaining comments at the top of every file in the language-appropriate format
Rule 2: Git management Work on the claude-bot branch, commit using Conventional Commits
Rule 3: Memory dump Record changes (append only) to .claude/WORK_LOG.md during long work
Rule 4: Diagram generation Update Mermaid diagrams in .claude/diagrams/ when architecture/API changes
