Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding system for terminal, IDE, desktop app, browser, Slack, and web workflows. It reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands, runs tests, and delivers committed or reviewable code, which makes it especially strong for terminal-native engineers and careful refactor/debug loops.

• Plans large jobs and runs parallel subagents across a real repository.
• Verifies results and produces reviewable, shippable code changes.
• Included with every paid Claude plan at no extra cost.
