External resources worth keeping within reach — agent skills, package hygiene, and language reference. Not snippets to copy; pointers to follow.
Background reading for ai-collaboration.md. These are
principles/philosophy and happy-path guidance — none is a friction catalog, which is
the niche that doc fills.
- Claude Code best practices
(Anthropic, official) — principle-based, organized around context-window
management; covers
CLAUDE.md,/init, permission allowlisting, and worktree parallelism. States the happy path rather than the edge cases. - How Anthropic teams use Claude Code
(Anthropic, PDF) — the most tips-flavored official artifact: team-by-team practices
like detailed
CLAUDE.mdfiles and preferring MCP servers over CLIs for sensitive data. Coarser-grained than a per-gotcha log. - awattar/claude-code-best-practices — community aggregator of patterns with links out to practitioner write-ups (worktree parallelism, memory management, hooks, subagents).
- rosmur claudecode-best-practices — a synthesized guide distilling ~12 sources; leans on planning-before-implementation and the observation that simple control loops tend to beat multi-agent setups.
Bryan Finster is a well-known continuous-delivery engineer (Minimum Viable CD / minimumcd.org); these are his current, actively-maintained AI-agent delivery materials — strong on holding agent-generated code to the same quality bar as human-written code.
- bdfinst/agentic-dev-team
(docs) — three Claude Code plugins: a
persona-driven
dev-team(Orchestrator + specialist agents + a TDD-gated/specs → /plan → /build → /prworkflow with a reviewer swarm), plussecurity-assessmentandmarketplace-dev. A mature, real-world example of a rules / skills / agents system. - bdfinst/ai-patterns — a living playbook of patterns for delivering software with AI agents: agentic code review, Agentic Continuous Delivery (ACD), a defect-detection cheat sheet, contract-testing strategies, and a curated index of other skill libraries.
Curated indexes of .claude/rules, CLAUDE.md, skills, and subagents worth mining for
patterns — the community layer above the config/claude-code/rules
snippets here.
- hesreallyhim/awesome-claude-code
— the de-facto meta-index: hand-picked skills, subagents, hooks,
CLAUDE.mdguides, status lines, and tooling. Actively maintained; the best single entry point. - josix/awesome-claude-md — curated
exemplary
CLAUDE.mdfiles mined from real repos, with analyses and templates. Narrowly on-target when you're refining aCLAUDE.md.
- anthropics/skills — the official Agent
Skills repo: production document skills, a
skill-creator, and the canonicalSKILL.mdspecification (spec/agent-skills-spec.md). The authoritative source for the format. - Intopia web accessibility skill — agent skill giving AI coding tools WCAG-aligned accessibility guidance, code examples, and review tooling for building and auditing web interfaces.
- Vercel agent skills — a collection of skills for AI coding agents (packaged instructions + scripts in the Agent Skills format) that extend agent capabilities.
- Community-Access/accessibility-agents — specialist agents that enforce WCAG 2.2 AA in Claude Code (ARIA patterns, focus management, contrast, live regions, forms); honest that automated checks still need real assistive-tech verification.
- fecarrico/A11Y.md — an a11y rules file:
an 8-rule WCAG 2.2 AA behavioral contract to inject into
CLAUDE.md, with tiered A/AA/AAA profiles and an on-demand APG reference. The rules-file complement to the Intopia / Community-Access skills.
- replacements.fyi — search an npm package name to find better/safer modern alternatives to deprecated or abandoned dependencies.
- TypeScript tips everyone should know
— curated practical TypeScript patterns (e.g. prefer
unknownoverany, discriminated unions, template literal types, thesatisfiesoperator) for safer, more readable code.- TODO: create a Claude Code agent skill around these tips — package them as a reviewable skill that surfaces the relevant pattern during TS work.
