When should I use a Hook instead of a Rule?

Use Hooks for deterministic shell-based tasks triggered by events like file edits, whereas Rules are best for path-specific constraints or project-wide coding conventions.

Are Rules always active?

Rules can be global or conditional based on file paths, allowing you to apply specific constraints only to relevant parts of your codebase.

Can I use this skill to clean up my CLAUDE.md file?

Yes, this guide specifically covers how to decompose large context files into more manageable components like Skills and Rules for better performance and discovery.

What is the main difference between a Command and a Skill?

Commands are manual triggers (/command) used for repetitive, fixed workflows, while Skills are automatically invoked by Claude when it identifies a need for specific domain knowledge.

How does an Agent differ from the main Claude context?

Agents operate in an independent context, which is ideal for processing large volumes of data or parallel tasks without polluting the main conversation history.
