Summary

This repository offers over 40 practical tips and workflows to significantly enhance user productivity with Claude Code. Targeting developers and power users, it provides advanced techniques for context management, prompt optimization, system integration, and task automation, enabling more effective use for complex coding, research, and DevOps tasks.

How It Works

The project presents curated advice, scripts, and CLI integrations for optimizing Claude Code's context, reducing system prompt overhead, and integrating external tools like Gemini CLI and Git. Key strategies include leveraging containers for safe execution, automating tasks, and employing advanced techniques like exponential backoff and interactive PR reviews to streamline workflows.

Quick Start & Requirements

To install the bundled dx plugin: claude plugin marketplace add ykdojo/claude-code-tips claude plugin install dx@ykdojo

Prerequisites include Claude Code, and optionally Gemini CLI, Git, GitHub CLI, and Docker for specific tips.

Highlighted Details

• Customizable status line script for real-time usage and context monitoring.
• Methods to slim down Claude Code's system prompt and tool definitions, freeing up context tokens.
• Integration with Gemini CLI as a fallback for accessing websites blocked by Claude Code.
• Containerization strategies using Docker for running risky or long-running autonomous tasks securely.
• Workflow automation for Git/GitHub CLI, including interactive PR reviews and a /gha command for analyzing CI failures.
• Tips on managing conversation history, multitasking with terminal tabs, and using voice input.
• The dx plugin bundles key commands: /dx:gha (CI analysis), /dx:handoff (context continuity), and /dx:clone (conversation branching).

Maintenance & Community

Licensing & Compatibility

The README does not explicitly state a software license. Users should verify compatibility and licensing terms.

Limitations & Caveats

Advanced tips require external CLIs (Gemini CLI, Git, Docker). System prompt patching necessitates disabling auto-updates. Some container orchestration workflows have a steeper learning curve.
