ai:claude
Anthropic's official best practices for collaborating with Claude well, distilled from the Anthropic Academy courses. Covers the 4D framework (Delegation, Description, Discernment, Diligence), Claude's real capabilities and limitations, the prompting techniques that actually move quality, and the operating discipline for Claude Code. Use when starting a build / code / design / strategy task, when deciding what to hand to AI vs keep human, when a prompt is not landing, when evaluating whether Claude's output is trustworthy, or whenever you want to work with Claude the way Anthropic teaches. Complements build-mode (teach-while-building), frontend-design (UI aesthetics), and claude-api (API/model reference); this skill is the high-level "how to collaborate with Claude" layer.
