The AI tools founders use to build and launch faster: vibe coding, no-code and AI agents
A Claude Code hook is a shell command that runs automatically at a precise moment in a session: before a tool, after an edit, at startup. The types of hooks, how to configure them in settings.json, and five hooks ready to copy.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets Claude Code plug into external tools and data: GitHub, your database, a browser. How to add and configure a server, which ones are worth it for an MVP, and how to build your own.
A Claude Code skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that Claude loads on its own when it's relevant, or that you trigger with /name. How to build one, how to install one, and how it differs from CLAUDE.md, slash commands, and MCP.
A Claude Code subagent is a secondary AI assistant that runs in its own context window, with its own tools and permissions. How to create one, when to reach for a subagent over a skill or a hook, and three founder use cases.
