Extensions plug into different parts of the agentic loop:
CLAUDE.md adds persistent context Claude sees every session
Skills add reusable knowledge and invocable workflows
Code intelligence connects Claude to a language server for symbol-level navigation and live type errors
MCP connects Claude to external services and tools
Subagents run their own loops in isolated context, returning summaries
Agent teams coordinate multiple independent sessions with peer-to-peer messaging, plus a shared task list for agents that have the Task tools
Hooks run your script, HTTP request, prompt, or subagent when Claude Code reaches a lifecycle event
Plugins and marketplaces package and distribute these features
Skills are the most flexible extension. A skill is a markdown file containing knowledge, workflows, or instructions. You can invoke skills with a command like /deploy, or Claude can load them automatically when relevant. Skills can run in your current conversation or in an isolated context via subagents.
