The ultimate Claude Code cheat sheet just hit 20,000 stars on GitHub

A community member named Shayan Rais built something incredible — a single GitHub repo that collects every best practice, tip, and pattern for Claude Code in one place. It just crossed 20,000 stars and was #1 trending on GitHub.

This isn't some random collection. Shayan is a Claude Community Ambassador and Certified Claude Architect. He curates tips directly from the Claude Code team — Boris Cherny (creator of Claude Code), Thariq, Cat Wu — and packages them with working examples you can clone and run.

⚓ What's Inside

86 curated tips from the Claude Code team, organized into 12 categories (prompting, planning, debugging, hooks, workflows, and more)
9 deep-dive reports — agents vs commands vs skills, rate limits, monorepo patterns, agent memory, and more
Working examples — clone the repo and run the orchestration demo, hooks with sound effects, agent teams
Podcast notes — summaries from Boris Cherny's appearances on Lenny's Podcast, Y Combinator, and Pragmatic Engineer
Community workflow comparisons — side-by-side analysis of 8 major workflow repos

⚓ Why You Should Be on GitHub

If you're not on GitHub yet, this is your reason to start. The best Claude Code resources live there — not on YouTube, not on blogs, not on social media. GitHub is where the builders share working code, not just opinions.

Star the repo — you'll get notified when new content drops
Fork it — make it your own reference library
Browse the .claude/ folder — it's a fully working Claude Code setup you can learn from

⚓ We Built a Classroom For This

The repo is incredible but it's also a lot to navigate. So we built a full classroom that walks through it section by section in plain English. No jargon, no assumptions. Each lesson explains what a section IS, what it's FOR, and shows a practical example.

Check it out: 📖 Best Practice Repo — Decoded in the classroom. 10 lessons covering everything from the README overview to the orchestration pattern to advanced agent teams.

We're also posting daily highlights in the community — short teasers that point to the classroom lessons so you can go deeper.
