Anthropic's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal
Claude Code is quietly becoming the tool serious developers reach for. It's not flashy — it lives in your terminal, not a fancy UI — but it understands large codebases in a way that's almost eerie. Multi-file refactors, test generation, and bug hunting are where it shines.
The trade-off: it's pay-per-use through Anthropic's API, so costs can surprise you on big projects. And you need to be comfortable in a terminal. But if you're already a CLI person, this feels like a superpower.
Claude Code is an agentic coding tool from Anthropic that integrates directly into your terminal. It understands your entire codebase, can make multi-file edits, run commands, and iterate on solutions. Built on Claude Sonnet and Opus models, it excels at complex refactoring, bug fixing, and writing tests.
Claude Code is an Agent — autonomous AI that performs tasks end-to-end. It plans, reasons, and acts on your behalf. Under the hood, agents like this are powered by Models and often connect to Tools for additional capabilities.
Agents use Models as their brain and plug into Tools for integrations. Some agents are built on Platforms.
