@Claude — Configuration Guide

@Claude is configured through a small set of layered objects in the claude.ai admin settings: agents, agent scopes, identity profiles, and the presets / connections / repos / instructions attached to them. The layering decides what any given session can see and do.

This guide is currently written for the Slack surface.

This skill is an index. Read the relevant reference file below for the topic the user is asking about — each is short and self-contained.

Topic	Reference file
Agents, agent scopes, the resolution chain, and per-field inheritance	agents-and-scopes.md
Identity profiles, scopes, rules, credentials, repo permissions	identity-profiles.md
Presets, connections (OAuth / MCP), how to install one	connections-and-presets.md
GitHub repositories and custom instructions	github-and-instructions.md
Best practices: profile layout, read-only vs read/write, rollout	best-practices.md

All reference files live alongside this SKILL.md in the same directory.

After explaining configuration, you can suggest the user run the debug-plugins skill in a new Slack thread to confirm the change actually took effect inside the container.
