* refactor(ci): shift quality checks to pre-commit, CI as 2nd pass
- Remove ci.yml (lint, security, pytest were only for EPUB scripts)
- Move EPUB build to pre-commit local hook (runs on .md changes)
- Add check_cross_references.py, check_mermaid.py, check_links.py scripts
- Add markdown-lint, cross-references, mermaid-syntax, link-check as
pre-commit hooks — mirrors all 4 CI doc-check jobs locally
- Remove spell check job from docs-check.yml (breaks on translations)
- Refactor docs-check.yml to reuse scripts/ instead of inline Python
- Add .markdownlint.json config shared by pre-commit and CI
- Update CONTRIBUTING.md with required dependencies and hook table
* fix(ci): resolve all CI check failures in docs-check workflow
- fix(check_cross_references): skip code blocks and inline code spans
to avoid false positives from documentation examples; fix emoji
heading anchor generation (rstrip not strip); add blog-posts,
openspec, prompts, .agents to IGNORE_DIRS; ignore README.backup.md
- fix(check_links): strip trailing Markdown punctuation from captured
URLs; add wikipedia, api.github.com to SKIP_DOMAINS; add placeholder
URL patterns to SKIP_URL_PATTERNS; add .agents/.claude to IGNORE_DIRS
- fix(check_mermaid): add --no-sandbox puppeteer config support via
MERMAID_PUPPETEER_NO_SANDBOX env var for GitHub Actions Linux runners
- fix(docs-check.yml): pass MERMAID_PUPPETEER_NO_SANDBOX=true to mermaid job
- fix(content): repair broken anchors in README.md, 09-advanced-features;
fix #plugins -> #claude-code-plugins in claude_concepts_guide.md;
remove non-existent ./docs/performance.md placeholder links; fix
dependabot alerts URL in SECURITY_REPORTING.md; update auto-mode URL
in resources.md; use placeholder pattern for 07-plugins example URL
- remove README.backup.md (stale file)
* fix(check-scripts): fix strip_code_blocks regex and URL fragment handling
- fix regex in strip_code_blocks to avoid conflicting MULTILINE+DOTALL
flags that could fail to strip indented code fences; use DOTALL only
- strip URL fragments (#section) before dispatching link checks to avoid
false-positive 404s on valid URLs with anchor fragments
* fix(check-scripts): fix anchor stripping, cross-ref enforcement, and mermaid temp file cleanup
- heading_to_anchor: use .strip("-") instead of .rstrip("-") to also strip leading hyphens
produced by emoji-prefixed headings, preventing false-positive anchor errors
- check_cross_references: always exit with main()'s return code — filesystem checks
should block pre-commit unconditionally, not silently pass on errors
- check_mermaid: wrap file-processing loop in try/finally so the puppeteer config
temp file is cleaned up even if an unexpected exception (e.g. UnicodeDecodeError) occurs
- docs-check.yml: remove now-unused CROSS_REF_STRICT env var
* fix(scripts): fix anchor stripping and mermaid output path
- Replace .strip('-') with .rstrip('-') in heading_to_anchor() so leading
hyphens from emoji-prefixed headings are preserved, matching GitHub's
anchor generation behaviour.
- Use Path.with_suffix('.svg') in check_mermaid.py instead of
str.replace('.mmd', '.svg') to avoid replacing all occurrences of .mmd
in the full temp path.

Roadmap: claude-howto 2026–2027
April 2026 – March 2027 · Dual-Layer Knowledge Base | Full plan:
TASKS-20260401.md
Vision
Transform claude-howto from a static tutorial repo into a living, dual-audience knowledge system:
- For humans — interactive, scenario-based learning with progressive difficulty, decision trees, and named patterns that experts bookmark
- For AI agents — structured metadata index that agents query before performing Claude Code tasks, making this repo infrastructure, not just content
No competitor targets AI agents as a primary audience. This is the moat.
The 7 Pillars
| # | Pillar | What it delivers |
|---|---|---|
| P1 | Fun Layer | Scenario intros + "Try It Now" blocks in every module |
| P2 | AI Agent Index | Generated agent-manifest.json + AGENT-INDEX.md + lookup skill |
| P3a | Expert Reference (in-module) | Decision trees + named patterns per module |
| P3b | Expert Reference (cross-module) | RECIPES.md — compound multi-feature workflows |
| P4 | Newcomer Onboarding | quickstart.sh + QUICKSTART.md + difficulty badges |
| P5 | Community Showcase | COMMUNITY-PROJECTS.md — curated user projects |
| P6 | Content Quality | Expand weakest modules; project CLAUDE.md |
| P7 | Living Curriculum | WHATS-NEW.md + version badges + weekly staleness CI action |
Timeline at a Glance
Apr 2026 May–Jun 2026 Jul–Aug 2026 Sep 2026 Oct–Nov 2026 Dec 2026–Mar 2027

[M1] [M2] [M3] [M4] [M5] [M6]
Infrastructure 6/10 modules 10/10 Agent layer Version audit Self-sustaining
+ hooks/checks complete complete + recipes complete system
Milestones
M1 — Infrastructure Live · End of April 2026
What ships:
scripts/quickstart.sh— one-command setup for new users (idempotent)QUICKSTART.md— First 15 Minutes visual guide- Difficulty badges + "What you'll build" previews on all 10 modules
WHATS-NEW.md+ version badges on all modules.github/workflows/staleness-check.yml— weekly Monday issue if module unverified 30+ days- Root
CLAUDE.md— project's own configuration as a best-practice example scripts/build-agent-index.py— generator that reads all 10 modules → outputsagent-manifest.json+AGENT-INDEX.md- 06-hooks — full deep pass: 5 complete hook scripts, decision tree, Try It Now, patterns
- 08-checkpoints — full deep pass: 311 → 800+ lines, 3 workflow templates, decision tree, patterns
Why start here: Infrastructure benefits every future phase. Hooks and checkpoints are the weakest modules and most likely to lose new visitors.
M2 — 6/10 Modules Complete · End of June 2026
What ships (one deep pass per module):
- 01-slash-commands — scenario intro, decision tree, Try It Now, named patterns
- 02-memory — scenario intro, decision tree, Try It Now, named patterns
- 03-skills — scenario intro, decision tree, Try It Now, named patterns
- 10-cli — scenario intro, decision tree, Try It Now, named patterns
- CI step: validate
agent-manifest.jsonschema on every push
Each module pass = run the generator to confirm valid manifest output.
M3 — All 10 Modules Complete · End of August 2026
What ships:
- 04-subagents — full deep pass (incl. "The Multi-Agent Review Pattern")
- 05-mcp — full deep pass
- 07-plugins — full deep pass
- 09-advanced-features — full deep pass
Every module now has: scenario intro, 2+ Try It Now blocks, Mermaid decision tree, 2+ named patterns.
M4 — Agent Layer Live · End of September 2026
What ships:
- Final
agent-manifest.jsoncovering 100% of modules (generated from completed content) AGENT-INDEX.mdlinked fromREADME.mdskills/claude-howto-lookup/SKILL.md— lightweight agent skill that queries the manifestRECIPES.md— 5+ compound workflows (schema: name, modules-used, problem, solution, expected outcome)COMMUNITY-PROJECTS.md— static curated list with PR-based submission format
Why September: The agent index is only meaningful once all 10 modules are content-complete.
M5 — Version Audit Complete · End of November 2026
What ships:
- Full version audit: all 10 modules verified against current CC version
- Updated
cc_version_verifiedfrontmatter + version badges everywhere RECIPES.mdexpanded to 8+ recipes based on observed community patterns- Pinned GitHub Discussion: "Share your Claude Code workflows" — signal collection for agent usage
M6 — Self-Sustaining System · End of March 2027
What ships / runs continuously:
/docs-sync-claude-codeskill runs after every CC release →WHATS-NEW.mdupdated- Agent manifest CI regression: 100% module coverage enforced
RECIPES.mdat 10+ recipesCOMMUNITY-PROJECTS.mdgrowing organically- Agent usage signal evaluated → if validated, promote the lookup skill (marketing, asm registry)

What Is NOT in Scope
Deferred to TODOS.md — do not let these creep in:
- Skill marketplace or installable registry
- Custom website or dashboard
- Completion tracking (cc-progress)
- Community tutorial CI validation
- Auto-generated CONTRIBUTORS.md
- Multi-language translations
- Quiz/assessment infrastructure
- Community voting on projects
