What are Claude Code best practices?

Claude Code best practices are the workflows, habits and configuration patterns that get the most out of Claude Code - from how you write CLAUDE.md and manage context, to subagents, skills, hooks, plan mode and full Research โ†’ Plan โ†’ Execute โ†’ Review โ†’ Ship pipelines. This page distills 82 tips and 154 practices from the community's most-followed best-practice repository into one searchable, filterable index - sourced from the people who build and ship with Claude Code daily.

Quick wins

  • Always start in plan mode and write a phase-wise, testable plan before executing.
  • Keep CLAUDE.md under ~200 lines and split larger instructions into .claude/rules/.
  • Mind the "dumb zone" - aggressively /compact or /clear before context drifts past ~40%.
  • Use subagents for context management - let the conclusion return, not 20 file reads.
  • Rewind, don't correct - double-Esc back to before a failed attempt instead of polluting context.
