Claude Code

A.I. coding helper that fixes bugs, writes tests and handles migrations from your terminal

Claude Code is an A.I. coding tool from Anthropic. You hand it a job, like a bug fix, a test, or a multi-day migration, and it does the work while you steer and review.

You describe what you want, and the pages say it plans, writes code, runs tests, and opens pull requests. You can use it from your terminal, your code editor (VS Code or JetBrains), Slack, or the web. It works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. It asks permission before changing your files or running commands. You can get it with a Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan, or a Claude Console account. Usage limits apply.
