  • AI tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, LM Studio, Gemini CLI)
  • Containerization (Docker setup)
  • Cloud platforms (Azure CLI)
  • Database tools (DBeaver, Azure Data Studio)
  • Security tools (GPG, SSH, Windows Sandbox)
  • Productivity tools (Figma, various utilities)

Cross-Platform Content

Git and Version Control

Git documentation has been consolidated into dedicated Claude Code skills for better maintainability:

  • git:setup skill: Git installation and basic configuration
  • git:line-endings skill: Cross-platform line ending configuration
  • git:gui-tools skill: Git GUI client recommendations
  • git:git-config skill: Comprehensive Git configuration
  • git:gpg-signing skill: Commit signing setup

Invoke these skills directly for Git-related guidance.

Platform Detection

When helping users, detect their platform via:

  • Windows: $env:OS contains "Windows", PowerShell, winget
  • macOS: uname -s returns "Darwin", brew
  • Linux: uname -s returns "Linux", apt/dnf/pacman
  • WSL: Linux kernel + /mnt/c/ paths

Reference Loading Guide

All references are conditionally loaded based on detected platform:

  1. Load references/{platform}-onboarding.md for platform entry point
  2. Load topic-specific references as needed from references/{topic}/
  3. Cross-reference with git skills for version control setup

Token efficiency: Entry point + 2-3 topic references is typical load (~200-400 lines)
