Claude Code Workflow Visual: Memory Hierarchy, Skills, Hooks, and Loop
A Reddit user shared a workflow visual that maps out how Claude Code's components fit together: CLAUDE.md, memory hierarchy, skills, hooks, project structure, and the workflow loop.
Memory Layering
The visual clarifies context loading order:
~/.claude/CLAUDE.md→ global memory/CLAUDE.md→ repo context./subfolder/CLAUDE.md→ scoped context
Subfolders append context, not replace it. This explains why sessions can feel overloaded when those files grow large.
Skills
Instead of repeating prompts, define reusable patterns in .claude/skills/. Examples:
.claude/skills/testing/SKILL.md .claude/skills/code-review/SKILL.md
Claude auto-invokes skills when the description matches.
Workflow Loop
The recommended loop:
cd project && claude Plan mode Describe feature Auto accept /compact commit frequently
No single element is groundbreaking, but seeing it all together helps organize Claude Code usage.
The ecosystem is still evolving, and workflows remain personal.
