The Complete .claude Folder Anatomy Guide

Akshay Pachaar's deep tutorial on configuring the .claude/ folder end-to-end: CLAUDE.md vs CLAUDE.local.md (project vs personal), the rules/ folder for path-scoped modular instructions, hooks/ for deterministic control (PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop with exit-code 2 as the block gate), skills/ for auto-invoked workflows with YAML frontmatter, agents/ for specialized subagent personas with restricted toolsets, and settings.json for allow/deny permission policies. Covers both project-level and global ~/.claude/ setups.
