The folders Claude Code reads, explained
Everything Loadout does starts with a folder on your disk. These explain what is in them, what is safe to delete and how to do it by hand, with no app involved.
- Where Claude Code skills are storedClaude Code skills live in ~/.claude/skills, .claude/skills in a project, and inside installed plugins. Where each one goes, and how to see all three at once.
- Which Claude Code skills are you actually using?Claude Code records every skill invocation in the session transcripts under ~/.claude/projects. Here is how to count them, and why grep alone is fragile.
- How to disable an MCP server in Claude CodeThe claude mcp command has no enable or disable. Turn a server off by editing .mcp.json settings or scoping the session, so the configuration stays on disk.
- What is inside the ~/.claude folderEvery folder and file in ~/.claude (skills, agents, commands, plugins, projects, settings.json, CLAUDE.md), what each one holds, what breaks if you delete it.
