Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's AI coding agent. Instead of just suggesting a line of code, it reads your whole project, makes changes across many files, runs commands, and fixes bugs while you watch. It works in your terminal, in IDEs like VS Code, in a desktop app, and on the web.

What you can do with Claude Code

• Ask it to build a feature, and it plans and writes the code across files
• Find and fix bugs, then run your tests to check the fix
• Explain how an unfamiliar codebase works
• Handle git tasks like commits and pull requests
• Connect it to tools like GitHub, Slack, and databases

Who it's for

It's made for developers, but plenty of non developers use it to build their own sites and tools too. If you're comfortable telling it what you want in plain words, you can get a lot done.

Pricing

Claude Code comes with Claude's paid plans (Pro and Max), and teams can use it through Team or Enterprise plans or pay per use through the API.
