Parallel 6-agent audit against official Anthropic docs (llms-full.txt). Key corrections applied across permissions, hooks, MCP, security, privacy, reference.yaml. Highlights: - Fix MCP config path (~/.claude.json), mcpServers key, variable substitution syntax - Fix permission modes (5 not 3), :* syntax (×6), Stop event description - Fix hook JSON field names (hook_event_name, tool_name, tool_input, session_id) - Fix filesystem restriction docs (permission rules, not settings.json keys) - Fix data-privacy: 4-tier retention, /bug 5yr warning, ZDR conditions, 5 telemetry opt-out vars - Add official llms.txt/llms-full.txt references to CLAUDE.md + machine-readable/llms.txt - Reference.yaml: 375 entries re-synced (92% had wrong line numbers — guide grew 15K→21K lines) - New script: scripts/resync-reference-yaml.py for automated line number sync - Quiz: corrected answers for hooks (07), memory settings (03), MCP servers (08) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Claude Code — Visual Diagrams
41 interactive Mermaid diagrams organized in 10 thematic files. Each diagram includes a Mermaid version (rendered natively on GitHub) and an ASCII fallback.
