[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ask user whether to skip.
Quick Summary
Goal: Provide ClaudeKit usage guidance by running the help script and presenting results based on output type.
Workflow:
-
Translate — Convert user arguments to English if needed
-
Execute — Run python .claude/scripts/ck-help.py "$ARGUMENTS"
-
Detect Type — Read @CK_OUTPUT_TYPE marker (comprehensive-docs, category-guide, command-details, search-results, task-recommendations)
-
Present — Show COMPLETE script output verbatim, then add practical context and examples
Key Rules:
-
Never replace or summarize script output; always show it fully then enhance
-
/plan then /code is the correct flow; NEVER suggest /plan then /cook
-
/cook is standalone (has its own planning)
Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).
Think harder. All-in-one ClaudeKit guide. Run the script and present output based on type markers.
Pre-Processing
IMPORTANT: Always translate $ARGUMENTS to English before passing to script.
The Python script only understands English keywords. If $ARGUMENTS is in another language:
-
Translate $ARGUMENTS to English
-
Pass the translated English string to the script
Execution
python .claude/scripts/ck-help.py "$ARGUMENTS"
Output Type Detection
The script outputs a type marker on the first line: @CK_OUTPUT_TYPE:<type>
Read this marker and adjust your presentation accordingly:
@CK_OUTPUT_TYPE:comprehensive-docs
Full documentation (config, schema, setup guides).
Presentation:
-
Show the COMPLETE script output verbatim - every section, every code block
-
THEN ADD helpful context:
-
Real-world usage examples ("For example, if you're working on multiple projects...")
-
Common gotchas and tips ("Watch out for: ...")
-
Practical scenarios ("This is useful when...")
-
End with a specific follow-up question
Example enhancement after showing full output:
Additional Tips
When to use global vs local config:
- Use global (~/.claude/.ck.json) for personal preferences like language, issue prefix style
- Use local (./.claude/.ck.json) for project-specific paths, naming conventions
Common setup for teams: Each team member sets their locale globally, but projects share local config via git.
Need help setting up a specific configuration?
@CK_OUTPUT_TYPE:category-guide
Workflow guides for command categories (fix, plan, cook, etc.).
Presentation:
-
Show the complete workflow and command list
-
ADD practical context:
-
When to use this workflow vs alternatives
-
Real example: "If you encounter a bug in authentication, start with..."
-
Transition tips between commands
-
Offer to help with a specific task
@CK_OUTPUT_TYPE:command-details
Single command documentation.
Presentation:
-
Show full command info from script
-
ADD:
-
Concrete usage example with realistic input
-
When this command shines vs alternatives
-
Common flags or variations
-
Offer to run the command for them
@CK_OUTPUT_TYPE:search-results
Search matches for a keyword.
Presentation:
-
Show all matches from script
-
HELP user navigate:
-
Group by relevance if many results
-
Suggest most likely match based on context
-
Offer to explain any specific command
-
Ask what they're trying to accomplish
@CK_OUTPUT_TYPE:task-recommendations
Task-based command suggestions.
Presentation:
-
Show recommended commands from script
-
EXPLAIN the reasoning:
-
Why these commands fit the task
-
Suggested order of execution
-
What each step accomplishes
-
Offer to start with the first recommended command
Key Principle
Script output = foundation. Your additions = value-add.
Never replace or summarize the script output. Always show it fully, then enhance with your knowledge and context.
Important: Correct Workflows
-
/plan → /code : Plan first, then execute the plan
-
/cook : Standalone - plans internally, no separate /plan needed
-
NEVER suggest /plan → /cook (cook has its own planning)
IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes (MUST FOLLOW)
-
Always plan and break work into many small todo tasks
-
Always add a final review todo task to verify work quality and identify fixes/enhancements
