claude-howto is a free, open-source (MIT) guide to Claude Code with over 41,000 GitHub stars. It is example-driven: ten modules, each with templates you can copy straight into your own project.

Here's what's inside, the one-hour setup, the catches, and a prompt to get started.

What's inside

  • Ten modules: slash commands, memory, skills, subagents, MCP, hooks, plugins, checkpoints, advanced features and the CLI reference.
  • Copy-paste templates for slash commands, CLAUDE.md files, hook scripts, MCP configs, subagent definitions and plugin bundles.
  • Diagrams that show how each feature works, and a learning path with time estimates (about 11 to 13 hours in full).
  • Quizzes: the /self-assessment and /lesson-quiz commands have Claude test you on what you just learned.
