Cadre DevKit Knowledge Base

This skill helps you find information in the devkit. Read the actual files - they are the source of truth.

Where to Find Things

| Topic | Location | |-------|----------| | Global config | ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md | | Commands | ~/.claude/commands/*.md | | Skills | ~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md | | Hooks | ~/.claude/hooks/ + settings.json | | References | ~/.claude/references/*.md | | Agents | Defined in system, use Task tool |

Quick Answers

How do I add a command?

Create ~/.claude/commands/my-command.md:

---
description: What this command does
argument-hint: [optional args]
---

# My Command

Instructions for Claude...

How do I add a skill?

Create ~/.claude/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md:

---
name: my-skill-name
description: What it does and when to use it.
---

# My Skill

Instructions and examples...

Skills vs Agents?

  • Skills = Knowledge (methodology, templates, best practices)
  • Agents = Workers (spawned via Task tool to do tasks independently)

Skills inform how to do something. Agents actually do things.

Debug hooks not running?

  1. Enable debug mode: CLAUDE_HOOK_DEBUG=1
  2. Check settings.json has hook registered
  3. Verify file is executable (chmod +x)

Skill not activating?

  1. Check YAML frontmatter is valid (name + description)
  2. Ensure description has trigger keywords
  3. Try explicit reference: "Use the X skill"

Command workflow?

New Project:

/greenfield → SPEC.md + DESIGN.md + PLAN.md → /plan [feature] → implement → /review → /validate → /ship

Existing Project:

/plan [feature] → implement → /slop (optional) → /review → /validate → /ship

Research:

/research [topic] → findings → /progress (save as docs)

Project vs Global

| Location | Scope | |----------|-------| | ~/.claude/ | All projects (personal) | | ./.claude/ | This project only (team) |

Project-level config takes precedence over global.

For Everything Else

Read the actual files. This skill points you where to look - don't rely on this skill having the latest info.
