What are CLAUDE.md files used for in this skill?

CLAUDE.md files are used to store project-specific or user-specific context, such as coding standards, technology stacks, and communication preferences, to guide the AI agent's behavior.

How does the skill handle multi-turn conversations?

It provides patterns for using the Agent SDK's chat and query functions to maintain message history, allowing the agent to remember previous context within a session.

Is it possible to create specialized agents using this skill?

Absolutely. It demonstrates how to use role-based context and specialized system prompts to create agents tailored for specific tasks like code review or unit testing.

Can I manage context for very large codebases?

Yes, the skill includes best practices for managing context size through content chunking and automated summarization to fit within the model's token limits.
