Say "update knowledge" or "research latest" and the skill will search official docs and community sources, appending findings to references/knowledge-base.md.
- Invoke directly:
/claude-code-mastery - Or let Claude auto-detect from context (e.g., "set up Claude Code for my project")
- Audit your setup: "audit my Claude Code configuration"
