+If you're using Claude Code without setting up .claude folder, you're using 10% of it.
+ 
+The .claude folder is where Claude Code actually lives.
+ 
+Everything you wish Claude Code did out of the box is sitting inside this folder. Most vibe coders never open it. They install Claude Code, run a few prompts, hit a wall, and assume that's the ceiling.
+ 
+It's not.
+ 
+Instead have these canonical files that Claude Code reads:
+ 
+𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗘.𝗺𝗱 → Your project rulebook. Coding style, conventions, gotchas. Claude reads it before every task so you stop repeating yourself in every prompt. Advisory, not enforced.
+ 
+.𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲/𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀/ → Deterministic. Fires every single time. Auto-commit after edits, load project context on startup, save state before compaction. Claude doesn't get to skip these.
+ 
+.𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲/𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀/ → Drop a SKILL.md inside any folder and Claude knows exactly when to invoke it. I have one for carousel generation, one for pacing drills. Claude picks the right one based on the task.
+ 
+.𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲/𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀/ → Subagents with their own isolated context window. Code reviewer, researcher, log analyzer. They run in parallel and report back. Your main thread stays clean.
+ 
+.𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲/𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀/ → Slash commands. Legacy but still works. Build a /ship command that lints, builds, and deploys in one go.
+ 
+.𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲/𝗽𝗹𝘂𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀/ → First-class in 2026. Bundle hooks, skills, agents, and MCP servers into one shareable package. This is the real unlock.
+ 
+.𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲/𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀/ → Path-scoped. Loads only when files match a glob. So your API rules don't pollute your frontend work.
+ 
+.𝗺𝗰𝗽.𝗷𝘀𝗼𝗻 → Sits at the project root, not inside .claude. MCP servers your project uses. Claude connects them automatically.
+ 
+The pattern most people miss: CLAUDE.md is advisory. Hooks are deterministic. Skills load on demand.
+ 
+That's the whole mental model.
+ 
+Once you understand which file does what, Claude Code stops feeling like another normal chatbot and starts feeling like a 10X developer.
+
+Over to you: Do you have hooks set up in your .claude folder?
