Browse all definitionsIn detail
Claude Code is Anthropic's official agentic coding tool, run from a terminal inside a project directory. It plans tasks, makes multi-file changes, runs tests, reviews diffs and iterates until it meets the agreed goal. It supports custom subagents, hooks, slash commands and MCP servers for connecting to external systems. Compared to IDE based assistants, Claude Code is designed for longer autonomous sessions where the human reviews completed work rather than each suggestion.
