OPTIMIZING CLAUDE CODE

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Claude Code can be customized with skills, plugins, commands, and configuration files.

This guide teaches readers how to optimize the assistant so it matches their style. It can take some time to optimize Claude, but doing so means you won't have to constantly re-explain preferences or correct patterns.
