Claude Code is a command-line AI agent that reads, edits, and runs code and files on your computer based on plain English prompts. It handles everything from file management and data gathering to custom workflows, with built-in tools for permissions, version control, and session memory.

Claude Code lets developers write, debug, and ship code directly from their terminal, IDE, Slack, or browser by describing tasks in natural language. It integrates with VS Code, JetBrains, iOS, and desktop, reads your local codebase, runs tests, and opens pull requests. Pricing is bundled into Anthropic’s Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans with varying usage limits.
