Plain Claude Code doesn’t have enough scaffolding to handle large projects

At a base level, people are “upgrading” their Claude Code with custom skills and subagents - all text files saved in .claude/agents|skills.

You can also use their new tasks primitive to basically run a Ralph-like loop

But at the edges, people are using multiple instances, each handling different aspects in parallel - stuff like Gas Town

Tbf you can still get a lot of mileage out of vanilla Claude Code. But I’ve found that even adding a simple frontend design skill improves the output substantially

Is there anywhere where we can learn more about creating your own agents/skills? Maybe some decent public repos that you could recommend.
You can just ask Claude to create them. They’re just markdown files

Anthropic’s own repo is as good place as any
