# Claude Code

Use this built-in skill when the user wants work routed through Claude Code or when a second coding lane would materially help.

## Core rules

- Keep the blocking path local unless delegation clearly reduces risk or latency.
- Run Claude Code against the real repo or an explicit worktree, not an ambiguous scratch directory.
- Pass bounded tasks with ownership, validation expectations, and merge criteria.
- Review Claude Code output against repo-native rules before treating it as done.

## Default workflow

1. Confirm whether Claude Code is the right lane versus local execution.
2. Identify the exact repo, worktree, files, and validation surface.
3. Hand off one bounded task with clear expected outputs.
4. Inspect the returned diff, run the relevant checks, and integrate intentionally.

## Guardrails

- Do not use Claude Code as a substitute for understanding the local codebase.
- Do not let multiple agent lanes edit the same files without explicit coordination.
- Do not claim Claude Code completed a task until the diff and validation are checked.
