Claude Code

Anthropic's agentic coding CLI that understands your entire project

Live preview of claude.ai/code

Overview

Claude Code represents a shift from AI code completion to AI code agency. Unlike IDE-based copilots that suggest line completions, Claude Code operates at the project level - reading your codebase, understanding architecture patterns, making changes across multiple files, running tests, and iterating based on results.

The terminal-based approach means Claude Code integrates into any development workflow. It works with your existing editor, version control, and toolchain rather than requiring you to switch to a specific IDE. You describe what you want in natural language, and Claude Code handles the implementation details.

For complex refactoring, bug fixes, and feature implementation, Claude Code's ability to understand project context makes it genuinely productive. It reads your CLAUDE.md file for project conventions, respects your coding standards, and produces changes that look like they were written by a team member who understands your codebase.
