Skills & MCP Organization

Use the context menu to create new skill folders or MCP configurations
Copy skill names by right-clicking on skill folders

Project Configuration (CLAUDE.md)

The CLAUDE.md file lives in your project root and provides Claude with:

Project overview and tech stack
Code style preferences
Testing conventions
AI-specific instructions

Global Configuration

Located at ~/.claude/settings.json, this stores:

Permissions (allow/deny lists)
Environment variables
Global skills and MCP servers

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run dev    # Watch mode
pnpm run build  # Production build

Publishing

To publish a new version to the VSCode Marketplace:

Create a .env file in the project root (see .env.example)
Add your VSCE Personal Access Token:
```
VSCE_PAT=your-token-here
```
Run the release command:
```
pnpm run release
```

Note: Never commit your .env file. It's already in .gitignore to prevent accidental leaks.
