```
### Execute Coding Task
```bash
# Create a coding subagent for a complex task
claude-code task --description "Fix the login bug" --priority high
claude-code task --description "Refactor the database layer" --model claude-3-5-sonnet
```
### List Available Commands
```bash
# Show all available commands
claude-code --help
```
## Available Commands
### query
Query Claude Code documentation for a specific topic.
**Usage:**
```bash
claude-code query <topic>
```
**Examples:**
```bash
claude-code query "subagents"
claude-code query "agent-teams"
claude-code query "best practices"
claude-code query "common workflows"
claude-code query "settings"
claude-code query "troubleshooting"
```
**Topics include:**
- Subagents and agent teams
- Best practices and workflows
- Settings and customization
- Troubleshooting guide
- Plugins and extensions
- MCP (Model Context Protocol)
- Headless/Programmatic usage
### task
Create and execute a coding subagent task.
**Usage:**
```bash
claude-code task --description "<task description>" [--priority <level>] [--model <model-name>]
```
**Options:**
- `--description, -d`: Task description (required)
- `--priority, -p`: Task priority (low/medium/high, default: medium)
- `--model, -m`: Model to use (optional, uses default if not specified)
**Examples:**
```bash
claude-code task --description "Implement user authentication module"
claude-code task --description "Refactor database queries" --priority high
claude-code task --description "Write unit tests for the API" --model claude-3-5-sonnet
```
### docs
Get overview of Claude Code documentation sections.
**Usage:**
```bash
claude-code docs [section]
```
**Sections:**
- `quickstart` - Getting started guide
- `best-practices` - AI coding best practices
- `common-workflows` - Typical development workflows
- `settings` - Customization options
- `troubleshooting` - Common issues and solutions
- `all` - Full documentation overview (default)
**Examples:**
```bash
claude-code docs
claude-code docs quickstart
claude-code docs best-practices
claude-code docs troubleshooting
```
### info
Display Claude Code configuration and status.
**Usage:**
```bash
claude-code info
```
**Output includes:**
- Version information
- Available subagents
- Configured models
- MCP servers status
## Integration with OpenClaw
This skill works seamlessly with OpenClaw's native capabilities:
- **Subagents**: Claude Code subagents complement OpenClaw's subagent system
- **Code Execution**: Use with OpenClaw's exec tool for complete development workflow
- **File Management**: Combine with OpenClaw's read/write tools for full codebase management
- **Sessions**: Claude Code tasks integrate with OpenClaw's session management
## Example Workflows
### Complex Bug Fix
```bash
# 1. Query best practices for debugging
claude-code query "debugging best practices"
# 2. Create a subagent to investigate and fix
claude-code task --description "Find and fix the null pointer exception in userService.js" --priority high
# 3. Review the changes
claude-code query "code review best practices"
```
### New Feature Development
```bash
# 1. Get best practices for the feature type
claude-code query "API design best practices"
# 2. Create development task
claude-code task --description "Implement REST API for user management" --priority medium
# 3. Check settings for code style
claude-code query "code style settings"
```
### Code Review Automation
```bash
# 1. Query PR review best practices
claude-code query "PR review workflows"
# 2. Set up automated review task
claude-code task --description "Review all PRs in the last week" --priority low
```
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
Not required for basic usage. Claude Code integration uses OpenClaw's native capabilities.
### Models
Uses OpenClaw's configured default models. Override per task with `--model` option.
### Subagent Limits
Managed by OpenClaw's subagent configuration (default: 8 concurrent subagents).
## Notes
- This skill provides a wrapper around Claude Code documentation and workflows
- Complex coding tasks are executed through OpenClaw's native subagent system
- For direct Claude Code CLI usage, install Claude Code separately from https://claude.com/code
- All task execution happens through OpenClaw's secure agent infrastructure

- Best Practices: Integrated from Claude Code guidelines
This skill integrates Claude Code into OpenClaw to provide AI-assisted coding workflows, documentation queries, and subagent task management. It exposes commands to query documentation, create and manage coding subagents, execute tasks with selectable models, and retrieve best-practice guidance. Use it to streamline development tasks and automate parts of your code review and implementation workflows.
The skill queries Claude Code documentation endpoints and maps documentation topics into a simple CLI interface. It creates and manages coding subagents inside OpenClaw, dispatching tasks, selecting models, and reporting status. Tasks run through OpenClaw's secure agent infrastructure and can be combined with file and execution tools for end-to-end workflows.
Do I need environment variables to use this skill?
No. Basic usage works via OpenClaw's native integration; external environment variables are not required.
Can I pick a specific Claude Code model per task?
Yes. Use the --model option when creating a task to override the default model for that task.
How many subagents can run concurrently?
Subagent limits follow OpenClaw configuration (default is 8 concurrent subagents).
