Claude Code

Claude Code is a coding agent from Anthropic that you run from the terminal. You describe a task in plain language, and it reads the relevant files, makes changes, runs your tests and commands, and reports back. Since it works in your actual repository, it fits into the tools and habits you already have. It is good at the jobs that take a while by hand, like tracing a bug through several modules, migrating an API, or writing a feature that touches many files. You stay in control through permission prompts, and project notes in a CLAUDE.md file let you teach it your conventions once. Claude Code also plugs into editors, supports MCP servers for connecting outside tools, and can be scripted for automation. Access comes through a Claude subscription or through API usage billing.
