Automation

Agents accumulate autonomous behaviors over time - ‘always do X before Y’, ‘if you see Z then do W’. These instructions eat context budget, drift across invocations, and can’t be observed or tested. How to recognize when an autonomous behavior is a skill waiting to be extracted, and the layered model that makes the boundary clear.

Claude Code agents write code fast. Too fast to catch quality issues in real-time. Here’s how to build validation directly into agent workflows using hooks and team coordination - micro validation after every file write, macro validation before completion, and independent review from validator agents.

Part 4: Learn how ZSH completions work under the hood. Build custom completions for your scripts, understand _arguments and completion contexts, and make tab completion actually useful.

Complete guide to ZSH hooks: automate prompts, time commands, activate virtualenvs on cd, and filter secrets from history–without slowing down your terminal.

ZLE lets you create custom keybindings that manipulate your command line. Learn the fundamentals, build practical widgets (insert git branch, fuzzy file search), and understand how fzf integrates with ZSH.
