[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI may ask user whether to skip.

Quick Summary

Goal: Set the user's coding experience level to tailor explanation depth and detail.

Workflow:

  1. Ask -- Query user for their experience level (beginner/intermediate/expert)
  2. Configure -- Adjust response verbosity and explanation depth accordingly

Key Rules:

  • Expert: minimal explanation, focus on code and architecture
  • Intermediate: moderate explanation with key concepts
  • Beginner: detailed explanation with examples and context

Set your coding experience level for tailored explanations and output format.

Usage

/coding-level [0-5]

Levels

Level Name Description
0 ELI5 Zero coding experience - analogies, no jargon, step-by-step
1 Junior 0-2 years - concepts explained, WHY not just HOW
2 Mid-Level 3-5 years - design patterns, system thinking
3 Senior 5-8 years - trade-offs, business context, architecture
4 Tech Lead 8-10 years - risk assessment, business impact, strategy
5 God Mode Expert - default behavior, maximum efficiency (default)

How It Works

  1. Set codingLevel in .claude/.ck.json
  2. Guidelines are automatically injected on every session start
  3. No manual activation needed - it just works!

Example

Set level 1 in .claude/.ck.json:

json
{
  "codingLevel": 1,
  ...
}

Next session, Claude will automatically:

  • Explain concepts and techniques clearly
  • Always explain WHY, not just HOW
  • Point out common mistakes
  • Add "Key Takeaways" after implementations

Optional: Manual Output Styles

For finer control, you can also use /output-style with these styles:

  • coding-level-0-eli5
  • coding-level-1-junior
  • coding-level-2-mid
  • coding-level-3-senior
  • coding-level-4-lead
  • coding-level-5-god

IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes (MUST FOLLOW)

  • Always plan and break work into many small todo tasks
  • Always add a final review todo task to verify work quality and identify fixes/enhancements
