A production-grade, end-to-end reference covering installation, CLAUDE.md, Hooks, GitHub Actions, MCP, Sub-Agents, FastMCP, and everything in between.

The real way - where you understand why each layer exists, when to reach for each tool, and how to wire it all together into something that actually changes how you write software day to day.
