This is what I do; frankly I can't be arsed to take the time to write all these commands and skills and whatnot. I did use /init to get Claude to create a CLAUDE.md file, and I occasionally -- very occasionally -- go through it and correct anything that's no longer valid due to code changes (and then ask Claude to do the same).

But beyond that, I just ask it what I want it to ask, and that's it. I'm not convinced that putting more time into building the "toolbox" will actually give me significant returns on that time.

I do think that some of this (commands, skills, breaking up CLAUDE.md into separate rules files) can be useful, but it's highly context-dependent, and I think YAGNI applies here: don't front-load this work. Only set those up if you run into specific problems or situations where you think doing this work will make Claude work better.
