AnthropicCLAUDE.mdanthropics/financial-services-plugins/CLAUDE.md
Cowork plugins and Claude Managed Agent templates for financial services. Each named agent ships two ways from one source. Run python3 scripts/check.py before committing — it lints every manifest, verifies all system.file / skills.path / callable_agents.manifest references resolve, fails if any agent-plugins/<slug>/skills/ copy has drifted from its vertical-plugins/ source, and rejects non-ASCII bytes in a .ps1 without a UTF-8 BOM. Keep .ps1 files pure ASCII. Windows PowerShell 5.1 — still the default shell on managed Windows — decodes a BOM-less…

AnthropicCLAUDE.mdanthropics/claude-quickstarts/managed-agents/chat-sdk/CLAUDE.md
Long-running Node server (Hono): browser chat with a sessions sidebar (useChat → /api/chat) → Chat SDK web adapter onDirectMessage → one Managed Agents session per conversation, where the conversation ID is the session ID (no mapping, no database; the sidebar is sessions.list, transcript replay is sessions.events.list) → a held session event stream (opened with event_deltas token previews, always on) feeds each fragment back onto the same HTTP response while /api/activity streams the tool calls and thinking the page shows as…

AnthropicCLAUDE.mdanthropics/claude-quickstarts/managed-agents/knowledge-wiki/CLAUDE.md
This directory is a Managed Agents quickstart: it builds a real M&A data room into a knowledge wiki (a versioned memory store) with one dynamic workflow run, and queries it. The runnable artifact is distill_documents_into_knowledge_wiki.ipynb; prompts/ holds the consolidation agents' prompts, the lead agent's prompt and the baseline analyst's prompt, utilities.py the notebook's functions; everything else exists to set that notebook up. When a user asks you to walk them through setting this quickstart up, read skill.md in this directory…

AnthropicCLAUDE.mdanthropics/claude-quickstarts/managed-agents/mcp-server-typescript/CLAUDE.md
MCP server that exposes Managed Agents session primitives as tools. Two entrypoints sharing one tool set: src/server.ts (stdio → Claude Desktop and Claude Code) and src/server-http.ts (Streamable HTTP → claude.ai custom connector). This quickstart creates no agents, so there is no agents/ directory. It needs one environment, created once from environment.yaml (the command is in that file and in README.md). Commands: bun run stdio (Desktop, Code), bun run http (claude.ai), bun run typecheck.

AnthropicCLAUDE.mdanthropics/claude-quickstarts/managed-agents/roadtrip-planner/CLAUDE.md
A Next.js chat built directly on a Managed Agent session: no chat framework, the event log is the app state. Teaches session event streaming (event_deltas), vault credential injection_location, per-session agent_with_overrides, and multiagent coordinator rosters. The planner calls the National Park Service and Windy APIs with keys it never holds, then hands its draft to a second agent for a quick critique. That second agent is an Opus reviewer running as a session thread. 1. Invoke /claude-api first. It loads the…

AnthropicCLAUDE.mdanthropics/claude-code-action/CLAUDE.md
A GitHub Action that lets Claude respond to @claude mentions on issues/PRs (tag mode) or run tasks via prompt input (agent mode). Mode is auto-detected: if prompt is provided, it's agent mode; if triggered by a comment/issue event with @claude, it's tag mode. See src/modes/detector.ts. Single entrypoint: src/entrypoints/run.ts orchestrates everything — prepare (auth, permissions, trigger check, branch/comment creation), install Claude Code CLI, execute Claude via base-action/ functions (imported directly, not subprocess), then cleanup (update tracking comment, write step summary).

AnthropicCLAUDE.mdanthropics/claude-for-legal/CLAUDE.md
Guidance for working on this repo. claude-for-legal is a Claude Code plugin marketplace — twelve first-party legal plugins, one vendor plugin, and five managed-agent cookbooks. Most work here is editing prompt content (skills, agents, hooks), plugin metadata, or cookbook config — not application code. This repo follows the same conventions anthropics/claude-plugins-official enforces in CI. Run the equivalent checks locally: claude-plugins-official layers these on top of the schema check. They apply here too — the ones most likely to trip a…

A file Claude Code reads at the start of every session. It holds the commands, conventions and warnings the agent needs for this project.
At the repository root. Claude Code also reads CLAUDE.md files in subdirectories when it works there.
Build and test commands, the project's layout, conventions that aren't obvious from the code, and mistakes to avoid. Short files tend to work better than long ones.
Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md; most other agents read AGENTS.md. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
