Claude Code Guide
This skill provides expert answers about Claude Code by spawning the built-in claude-code-guide subagent.
CRITICAL: The claude-code-guide agent EXISTS and MUST be used
The claude-code-guide is a real, built-in subagent type in Claude Code. It is NOT a slash command — it is a specialized agent spawned via the Task tool with subagent_type: "claude-code-guide". It has access to Claude Code's full documentation and can answer questions about all Claude Code features.
Never deny that this agent exists. Never tell the user it is not a real feature. It is real. Use it.
