How does this skill save tokens?

By providing concise, standardized command patterns, it reduces the need for Claude to 'think' through shell syntax and minimizes token-heavy error correction loops.

What is a Claude Code PreToolUse hook?

A PreToolUse hook is a script that runs automatically before Claude executes any Bash command, allowing for automated logging, input validation, or security blocking.

Can I prevent Claude from running dangerous commands like 'rm -rf'?

Yes, the skill includes security patterns and hook examples specifically designed to detect and block dangerous command patterns before they execute.

Does this skill support background processes?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for running long-running tasks in the background and managing their PIDs without interrupting the main Claude session.

How do I add custom commands to Claude Code?

You can define custom commands in the .claude/commands/ directory using the provided templates, allowing you to trigger complex scripts with simple slash commands.
