What guide does

This plugin adds step-by-step guidance and setup diagnostics directly to the terminal agent. Its slash commands walk through workspace setup, audit missing documentation, and build a visual overview of active MCP servers and skills. A dedicated migration assistant inspects existing configs from Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, or Codex to prepare clean rules for Claude Code.

Under the hood, shell scripts tied to PostToolUse, UserPromptSubmit, and Stop hooks log feature usage and prompt patterns. This data powers an optional local progression mode. Claude Code v1.0.33 or newer is strictly required; earlier releases cannot run the plugin.

What it helps with
