👋 Welcome to the claude-code-guide community!

We're excited to open up Discussions as a space for the community to share knowledge, ask questions, and learn from each other.

🤔 The Big Question: When to Use What?

One of the most common challenges when working with Claude Code and agentic patterns is knowing which approach fits your use case. There are several powerful techniques available, and choosing the right one can make a huge difference:

• Agent Skills — Reusable capabilities you equip your agent with.
• Sub Agents — Delegating specific subtasks to focused agents.
• Workflows — Structured, multi-step pipelines where you define the sequence of operations.
• Hooks — Trigger scripts on events and doesn't rely an agent to decide.
• Loop action — Repeatable, periodic actions within your Claude code session.
• And more... — There are many emerging patterns and combinations worth exploring!

💬 Let's Talk

We'd love to hear from you:

• Which patterns have you found most effective, and for what kinds of tasks?
  • Have you combined multiple approaches? What worked and what didn't?
  • What challenges have you run into when deciding between these techniques?
  • Are there patterns or tools you wish existed?
