product-self-knowledge — Claude Code skill: what it does and setup
Forces coding agents to verify Anthropic product facts against live documentation instead of guessing from stale weights.
npx skills add SeifBenayed/cloclo --skill product-self-knowledge -a claude-codeWhat product-self-knowledge does
The skill stops the model from recalling Anthropic product details from memory. It splits the product ecosystem into three distinct tracks: Claude Code setup and MCP servers, Claude API features like tool use and batching, and Claude.ai account plans.
A routing table points the agent to exact documentation index maps. Queries regarding the Claude API start at https://docs.claude.com/en/docs_site_map.md. Claude Code requests inspect claude_code_docs_map.md and the npm package @anthropic-ai/claude-code, while account questions route to https://support.claude.com.
Every answer must include an official source URL. Outdated training data makes unverified pricing and rate limits unreliable.
What it helps with
- verify Claude API pricing and rate limits from primary sources
- configure Claude Code requirements, Node.js versions and MCP servers
- compare Claude.ai Pro, Team, and Enterprise plan limits
- look up Anthropic SDK syntax for streaming and tool calling
Example prompts for the agent
- Check the official docs map to see how MCP servers are configured in Claude Code.
- What are the current batch processing limits and rates for the Claude API?
- Compare Team and Enterprise plan limits in Claude.ai with reference links.

--- name: product-self-knowledge description: "Stop and consult this skill whenever your response would include specific facts about Anthropic's products. Covers: Claude Code (how to install, Node.js requirements, platform/OS support, MCP server integration, configuration), Claude API (function calling/tool use, batch processing, SDK usage, rate limits, pricing, models, streaming), and Claude.ai (Pro vs Team vs Enterprise plans, feature limits). Trigger this even for coding tasks that use the Anthropic SDK, content creation mentioning Claude capabilities or pricing, or LLM provider comparisons. Any time you would otherwise rely on memory for Anthropic product details, verify here instead — your training data may be outdated or wrong." --- # Anthropic Product Knowledge ## Core Principles 1. **Accuracy over guessing** - Check official docs when uncertain 2. **Distinguish products** - Claude.ai, Claude Code, and Claude API are separate products 3. **Source everything** - Always include official documentation URLs 4. **Right resource first** - Use the correct docs for each product (see routing below) --- ## Question Routing ### Claude API or Claude Code questions? → **Check the docs maps first**, then navigate to specific pages: - **Claude API & General:** https://docs.claude.com/en/docs_site_map.md - **Claude Code:** https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/claude_code_docs_map.md ### Claude.ai questions? → **Browse the support page:** - **Claude.ai Help Center:** https://support.claude.com --- ## Response Workflow 1. **Identify the product** - API, Claude Code, or Claude.ai? 2. **Use the right resource** - Docs maps for API/Code, support page for Claude.ai 3. **Verify details** - Navigate to specific documentation pages 4. **Provide answer** - Include source link and specify which product 5. **If uncertain** - Direct user to relevant docs: "For the most current information, see [URL]" --- ## Quick Reference **Claude API:** - Documentation: https://docs.claude.com/en/api/overview - Docs Map: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs_site_map.md **Claude Code:** - Documentation: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/overview - Docs Map: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/claude_code_docs_map.md - npm Package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@anthropic-ai/claude-code **Claude.ai:** - Support Center: https://support.claude.com - Getting Help: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/9015913-how-to-get-support **Other:** - Product News: https://www.anthropic.com/news - Enterprise Sales: https://www.anthropic.com/contact-sales
