Claude Code Features Guide

Guide for choosing between 5 major Claude Code features.

Feature Overview

Feature	Trigger	Essence	Best For
Commands	Manual (`/command`)	Inject saved prompts instantly	Repeatable standard workflows by user execute
Skills	Auto (Claude decides)	Knowledge loaded on demand	On-demand knowledge (tool usage, guidelines)
Agents	Manual/delegation	Specialists with independent context	Bulk data processing & parallel tasks
Hooks	Event-driven	Shell scripts auto-executed around tools	Deterministic automation
Rules	Conditional/always	Modularized rules	Path-conditional constraints

Decision Flowchart

1. "Should it auto-execute on events like file edits?"
   → Yes: Hooks (implement as shell commands)

2. "Needs independent context for bulk data processing?"
   → Yes: Agents (don't pollute main conversation)

3. "Knowledge not always needed, but should surface when relevant?"
   → Yes: Skills (tool usage guides, domain expertise, patterns)

4. "Standard procedure user explicitly executes?"
   → Yes: Commands (instant /command execution)

5. "Constraints for specific paths or entire project?"
   → Yes: Rules (conditional with paths:)

6. Cannot classify
   → Keep in CLAUDE.md
