# Basic Terminal / CLI Navigation

## Prerequisite

**Basic terminal/CLI navigation.** The user must know how to:

- Open a terminal
- `cd` into directories
- Execute basic shell commands
- Read terminal output

## Why

[[entity-product-claude-code|Claude Code]] operates entirely within a command-line interface. There is no GUI to fall back on. Every action — installing skills, running scripts, invoking MCP tools — happens in the terminal.
