Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's command-line AI coding tool that operates as an agentic assistant within your terminal. It can read, search, and edit files across your entire codebase, run commands, and handle complex multi-step software engineering tasks. Unlike editor-based tools, Claude Code works at the project level, understanding directory structures, dependencies, and cross-file relationships. It excels at large refactors, bug investigation, writing tests, and implementing features that span multiple files. Claude Code integrates with git workflows, can create commits and pull requests, and operates with configurable permissions. It is designed for professional developers who want AI assistance without leaving their terminal workflow.
