# Copy skills to your project
cp -r skills/ /path/to/your/project/.claude/skills/
# Skills auto-trigger based on your requests
# Example: "Help me refactor this legacy code"
# Claude Code automatically applies the refactor-legacy-code skill# Copy hooks to your Claude Code configuration
cp -r hooks/ ~/.claude/hooks/
# Hooks run automatically on events like:
# - Pre-commit: security scanning, linting
# - Session setup: environment configuration
# - Test runner: automated test execution| Category | Prompts | Key Use Cases |
