Claude Code Ultimate Guide tools 17
search_guideSearch the Claude Code Ultimate Guide by topic, keyword, or question. Covers features, hooks, agents, MCP, skills, commands, and best practices. Use this FIRST for any Claude Code question instead of web search.read_sectionRead a section from a guide file (markdown, YAML, examples). Supports pagination via offset, or a "#heading-slug" anchor to jump straight to a section (as returned by search_guide()). Use after search_guide() to fetch the full content at a specific location.list_topicsList all top-level topics and categories in the Claude Code Ultimate Guide. Useful for exploring what the guide covers before searching.get_exampleFetch a production-ready template or example from the guide (agents, skills, commands, hooks, scripts). Pass a partial name to search for matching examples.get_changelogReturn the last N entries from the Claude Code Ultimate Guide CHANGELOG. Shows what changed in the guide itself (not Claude Code CLI releases — use get_release() for that).get_digestReturn a digest of guide and Claude Code CLI changes for a given period. Combines guide CHANGELOG entries + official Claude Code releases in the time window.get_cheatsheetReturn the Claude Code cheatsheet — a compact 1-page reference covering the most important commands, shortcuts, config options, and workflows.list_examplesList all production-ready templates in the guide by category (agents, commands, hooks, skills, scripts). Use get_example(name) to fetch the content of any specific template.get_releaseGet details about Claude Code CLI official releases. Pass a version to get a specific release, or omit to get the latest and recent history.compare_versionsShow what changed between two Claude Code CLI versions. Lists all releases in range with aggregated highlights and breaking changes.get_threatLook up a specific threat by ID from the security threat database. Supports CVE IDs (e.g. "CVE-2025-53109") and technique IDs (e.g. "T001").list_threatsBrowse the security threat database. Without a category, returns a summary with counts. With a category, returns the full list for that section.- +5 more on the listing page

search_docsSearch the official @imqueue docs (guides, tutorial, CLI manual, articles) and every exported symbol of every @imqueue package that publishes a generated API reference, returning the most relevant pages with their URLs. Each result names the package it belongs to. Takes a plain question or an exact symbol name such as 'RedisQueue.send', 'PgPubSub.listen' or 'watcherCheckDelay'. Answers 'how do I do X in @imqueue' and confirms a signature before code is written against it. Every result carries the page URL, which get_doc reads in full. Some capabilities are covered by two mutually exclusive packages — @imqueue/pg-prisma vs @imqueue/pg-sequelize, @imqueue/opentelemetry vs @imqueue/datadog — so for a query like 'tracing' or 'database', call list_packages for the choosing rule rather than taking whichever package ranks first, and pass `package` here to search within the one you settled on.get_docFetch the markdown of an @imqueue documentation page by its URL (as returned by search_docs). Returns plain markdown suitable for reading and quoting. Pass a URL with a #fragment — which is what search_docs returns for a section result — to get just that section plus the heading path above it; pass the URL without one to read the whole page. Only imqueue.org (framework docs) and imqueue.com (licensing, pricing, support) URLs are fetched; anything else is refused. Very large pages are truncated, which the result reports.list_packagesThe complete, authoritative catalogue of documented @imqueue packages, each with its current version, licence, minimum Node version, a one-line summary and its exact install command. Call this BEFORE adding any @imqueue dependency: search_docs can only find a package you already suspect exists, and this is the list. Covers typed RPC over a message queue, the Redis queue engine, the `imq` CLI, jobs and scheduling, Prisma and Sequelize database toolkits, method caching, tag-invalidated caching, PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY, Zod validation, OpenTelemetry or Datadog tracing, async logging, GraphQL N+1 batching across services, CIDR/IP checks and HTTP rate limiting. Some pairs are mutually exclusive — pg-prisma vs pg-sequelize, opentelemetry vs datadog — and installing both of a pair breaks silently, so read the `pick` rule on those entries before choosing. For one package's release history, links and the framework-wide Node and Redis requirements, use package_status.package_statusThe current version, licence, minimum Node version and last release date of any published @imqueue package — or of all of them. Use it when the user asks which version of an @imqueue package is current, what licence it is under, or which Node or Redis version it needs. Covers every published package, including @imqueue/cli and @imqueue/mcp, and also returns the framework-wide licence, Node and Redis requirements, with a `licenseNote` that states the licence terms in a sentence. The facts are read from the npm registry by imqueue.org, and the result says when. Pass `package` for one entry, with or without the @imqueue/ scope; omit it for all of them.scaffold_serviceREAD-ONLY: returns generated source code as text and writes nothing to disk, creates no project and runs no command. Generates an idiomatic @imqueue/rpc service (an IMQService subclass with @expose()d, JSDoc-typed methods) plus a bootstrap that starts it. Provide the methods you want, or omit them for a starter template. Any non-primitive parameter or return type also gets a types.ts with the required @classType()/@property() declarations — without those the generated client types it `any`, which compiles. Use create_service (local install only) if you want files actually written.scaffold_clientREAD-ONLY: returns text and writes nothing to disk, and does NOT run the command it shows you. Explains how to generate and use the fully-typed client for an @imqueue service: @imqueue generates the real client from a running service via `imq client generate`, so this returns that exact command plus an illustrative usage snippet. The generated file exports a single namespace holding the client class, so the import shape is not the obvious one — take it from `namespace` rather than guessing. Use generate_client (local install only) if you want the command actually run.cli_statusDetect whether the `imq` CLI (@imqueue/cli) is installed on this machine and report its version. create_service and generate_client need it; the scaffold_service and scaffold_client tools do not.cli_helpRun `imq [command] --help` and return the exact, version-accurate flags for a command (e.g. 'service create', 'client generate'). The flags it lists are the ones create_service accepts. Read-only: it prints help and exits.create_serviceScaffold a real, provider-wired @imqueue service via `imq service create`. Runs as a DRY-RUN by default: it shows the plan and writes nothing. With apply=true it writes files into the target directory and may initialise git, configure CI and push to a remote. Accepts `imq` flags (cli_help lists them) to avoid interactive prompts. Requires the `imq` CLI.generate_clientRun `imq client generate <Service>` to emit the real, fully-typed client, writing it into the output directory. The target service must be RUNNING — the CLI introspects the live service over its message queue. Requires the `imq` CLI.cli_installInstall @imqueue/cli globally via `npm install -g @imqueue/cli`, replacing any `imq` already installed. cli_status reports whether it is already present. A global install may require a user-writable npm prefix or elevated permissions.fleetRun `imq ctl <action>` over a directory of service repositories. `status` reports what is running and changes nothing; `start`, `stop` and `restart` change which processes are running on this machine. Requires the `imq` CLI.- +2 more on the listing page
