I thought there was a security risk letting Claude code loose on your machine. How do you address that?

Kevin Gargate Osorio's avatar

Totally valid concern. Claude Code only operates within the project scope and permissions you grant, so the real safeguard is reviewing actions before executing them.

Like any powerful dev tool, using version control and working inside controlled environments keeps everything safe and predictable.

Just as a heads-up, upon checking current Claude Code conventions:

The structure you shared is mostly right, but the skills placement and file discovery have changed. Here's what to update:

Skills should be in .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md, not a top-level skills/ directory. Each skill is a directory, not a single file.

Context files (context/, profiles/) won't be auto-discovered. You have two options:

- Import them explicitly in CLAUDE.md with @context/content-context.md syntax

- Move them to .claude/rules/ where they're auto-discovered

Recommended updated structure:

my-project/

├── CLAUDE.md # Imports context files with @path

├── context/

│ └── content-context.md

├── profiles/

│ └── audience-profile.md

├── .claude/

│ ├── skills/

│ │ └── my-skill/ # Directory per skill

│ │ ├── SKILL.md

│ │ └── template.md # Optional supporting files

│ └── rules/ # Auto-discovered by Claude

│ └── style-guide.md

Then in CLAUDE.md:

- See @context/content-context.md for background.

- See @profiles/audience-profile.md for audience details.

Key changes from your original:

1. skills/SKILL.md → .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md

2. Add @ imports in CLAUDE.md so context/ and profiles/ actually get loaded

3. Consider .claude/rules/ for anything you want auto-discovered without explicit imports

You’re absolutely right, the conventions around skills and file discovery have changed and I appreciate you pointing that out. I cover the updated architecture and recommended structure in more detail in this follow-up article https://artificialcorner.com/p/claude-code-concepts

Claude Code is a game-changer for anyone looking to get into coding. The accessibility makes it so much easier to start building real projects.

💯

thanks. what are some of the use cases you use claude code for?

Kevin Gargate Osorio's avatar

I primarily use Claude Code to structure long-form writing projects, build reusable decision frameworks, and prototype repeatable AI workflows. In the upcoming articles. I’ll share concrete use cases from projects I’m actively working on in my day-to-day.

cool! thanks for sharing. I'll watch out for these :) have been experimenting with claude co-work a lot and considering learning claude code (but for now not sure whether I do have real use-cases / whether it's worth the invested time)

The advantage Claude Code offers lies in moments when you need structured and repeatable workflows

I dont trust anthropics, my 1B Model has an output > 30 Token/sek without GPU/NPU , i just can trust my own AI Agent , look at the edge browser cookies , i found facebook telemetrie tracking and much much more , how to improve? 1. Start Wireshark

2. SystemTimeKey is the primary key where the dark osint tool , you will see crashing the backend, just change > 30 sec and look at the logs...

3. The CEO of Anthropics is no real CEO , i dont believe his influence is strong and independent...

I forgot Claude Code used on my system exploitet libraries, which where public CVE older 14 days high risk.

Security concerns are valid, and the best approach is independent verification: monitor network traffic, sandbox tools, review permissions, and keep dependencies updated.

Regardless of the provider, strong operational security practices and controlled environments are what ultimately protect your system.

Claude Code is genuinely a game-changer even for non-developers. The bar for building with AI keeps dropping.

I’m not fully convinced Claude Code is automatically better than tools like ChatGPT or Gemini.

The structured setup is powerful, but for true beginners, that extra complexity could feel overwhelming and reduce the simplicity that makes AI tools so appealing in the first place.
