Hands-on guides to Claude Code — Anthropic's terminal coding agent — from install and first run to MCP, subagents, hooks, and the errors you'll actually hit.
Claude Code is the agent we run all day: this entire site is built and maintained in it, so the guides in this category are written from the driver's seat. That means the workflow advice, the model-routing habits, and the troubleshooting come from real sessions on a real project, not a feature tour. Where a fix only reveals itself after you've hit it a dozen times, that's the kind of detail we try to capture here.
Start with what Claude Code is and how to install it, then move into the pieces that make it powerful — MCP servers, subagents, memory files, permissions, and headless automation — and keep the error guides handy for when a run stalls. Whether you're deciding if it's worth a subscription or wiring it into CI, the goal of this collection is to shorten the gap between installed and genuinely productive.
