How to structure Claude Code subagents, write dispatch prompts, and coordinate parallel work across services, SDKs, and frontends in a monorepo.

How to enforce the orchestrator pattern in Claude Code
The main Claude Code thread plans and reviews. Subagents implement. Three enforcement layers make this mandatory: CLAUDE.md, skills, and hooks. Includes a starter kit you can copy.

Part 1: Claude's 7 Extension Points — The Mental Model
CLAUDE.md, Skills, Hooks, MCP Servers, Connectors, Claude Apps, Plugins — Claude's extension ecosystem is powerful but confusing. Here's the mental model that makes sense of all 7.

Part 2: CLAUDE.md, Hooks, and Skills — Three Layers
CLAUDE.md sets conventions. Hooks enforce them. Skills teach workflows. Understanding these three layers — and their reliability spectrum — is the key to a Claude Code setup that actually works.

Part 3: MCP Servers vs. Connectors vs. Apps
All Claude Apps are Connectors. All Connectors are MCP Servers. Understanding this hierarchy — and when to build vs. use managed integrations — saves weeks of unnecessary engineering.

Part 4: All 7 Extension Points in One Production Codebase
50+ skills, multiple MCP servers, scoped rules, safety hooks — here's how all 7 Claude extension points compose in a real NestJS monorepo with 17 projects. What works, what fights, and what we'd do differently.
