Claude Code Architecture — How Persona, Agent, Command & Skill Work Together
Claude Code is an AI development platform with a layered architecture built on four pillars: Persona, Command, Skill, and Agent. These components work together to create a customizable and consistent AI coding assistant tailored to user workflows. The architecture allows users to define the AI's identity, trigger actions, orchestrate tasks, and execute specialized work.
- ▪The Persona defines the AI's identity, communication style, and behavior across all interactions and is stored in a CLAUDE.md file.
- ▪Commands are user-triggered slash commands that initiate specific actions and are stored in the .claude/commands/ directory.
- ▪Skills act as orchestrators that coordinate tasks, while Agents are the executors that perform specialized work.
- ▪The architecture enables a consistent and customizable AI development experience by integrating identity, triggers, workflows, and execution.
- ▪Persona settings apply globally or per project and influence how all other components behave and respond.
