Summary

The repo is essentially a power-user framework built from 6 months of production use. It extends Claude Code's capabilities, not Claude's core intelligence—it's about workflow optimization and context management.

Claude Skills vs. claude-code-infrastructure-showcase

A comparison between Claude's native capabilities and what this repository adds for Claude Code (the CLI tool).

Comparison Table

Aspect	Claude's Native Capabilities	This Repo's Add-ons
Context	Works with whatever context is in the current conversation	Adds persistent "skills" (markdown docs) that survive context resets
Activation	You have to tell Claude what you want	Auto-activating hooks that detect your intent and suggest relevant skills automatically
Memory	Limited to current session (unless memory feature enabled)	Dev docs pattern preserves project knowledge across sessions
Specialization	General-purpose assistant	10 specialized agents (refactoring, code review, debugging, etc.)
Project Standards	Follows your instructions	Guardrails baked in - enforces your coding patterns (Express/React/TypeScript standards)

Key Innovations in the Repo

1. The "Skills Don't Activate" Problem Solved

• Native Claude Code: Skills are passive—you must remember to invoke them
• This repo: UserPromptSubmit hook + skill-rules.json = skills suggest themselves based on context

2. 500-Line Modular Pattern

• Keeps individual skill files under context limits
• Progressive disclosure: loads only what's needed

3. Hooks System (the core innovation)

Hook	Purpose
skill-activation-prompt	Analyzes prompts, suggests skills
post-tool-use-tracker	Tracks file changes
Stop hooks	Validation (TSC checks, build verification)
