Claude Code folder structure cheat sheet from Reddit user
A Reddit user shared a cheat sheet for Claude Code's folder structure after repeatedly getting tripped up by documentation that required jumping between multiple pages. The cheat sheet covers practical implementation details that caused real time-wasting issues.
Key folder structure details
- Skills belong in
.claude/skills/, not a top-levelskills/folder - Each skill needs its own directory with an
SKILL.mdfile inside it - Subagents live in
.claude/agents/, not a standaloneagents/folder at the root
Hook configuration specifics
- For PostToolUse hooks, the matcher needs to be
"Edit|MultiEdit|Write"— using just"Write"misses edits - SessionStart and SessionEnd are real hook events (contrary to some community discussions)
Installation and documentation notes
npm installis no longer the recommended install path- The native installer is:
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash - Documentation updates happen quietly, so the cheat sheet may contain inaccuracies as docs evolve
The cheat sheet is currently available as an image, though the creator mentioned potentially converting it to a proper Markdown file if there's sufficient interest. The image format was chosen for faster initial creation.
