Summary
Claude Code becomes a programmable agent when using guardrails like giving it verification steps (yields 2-3x quality improvement per Boris Cherny), plan mode (Shift+Tab twice) for read-only exploration, delegation over pair-programming, and updating CLAUDE.md from mistakes. The .claude directory provides layered configuration with project-scoped (committed) and global files for shared rules (CLAUDE.md), private notes (CLAUDE.local.md), settings, MCP servers, and custom skills.
