Summary

Full audit + rewrite from 70 numbered chapters to 6 topical Parts (~42 chapters), with three tiered installers driven by a JSON manifest. CC 2.1.111+ compatible.

• Part III — Extension (9 chapters): hooks, MCP, agents, Agent SDK, skills authoring + maintenance, plugins, slash commands, Cloud Run deploy
• Part IV — Context Engineering (7 chapters): memory bank, rules, Basic Memory MCP, context budget, progressive disclosure, context governance (7-layer), skill lifecycle
• Part V — Advanced (7 chapters): AI DNA shared-layer, inter-agent bus, self-telemetry, Monitor tool, statusline, cross-project knowledge, session-end/defrag
• Part VI — Reference (6 chapters): CC version history, CLI flags + env, hook event catalog, skill catalog, MCP server catalog, security checklist

Install:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ytrofr/claude-code-guide/master/install.sh | bash  # Core
git clone https://github.com/ytrofr/claude-code-guide.git && cd claude-code-guide
./install.sh --recommended /path/to/your-project

Highlights

• All old URLs preserved via jekyll-redirect-from
• install.sh rewritten manifest-driven (no more hardcoded file lists)
• Hero metrics honestly sourced; aspirational claims removed
• 9 CC ship-log chapters consolidated into one curated version-history page
• 18 obsolete numbered chapters pruned

Known gaps

• template/ directory still needs repopulation to match manifest paths (follow-up workstream — B8)
