Anthropic's AI coding assistant that can read your codebase and do work for you.
As stated in the literature
Anthropic's agentic coding product that combines Claude with tool use and a workspace harness for software engineering tasks.
Also called: Claude Tools
Why it matters: It's a leading example of moving AI from autocomplete to full agentic software work, reshaping how engineering teams actually use models.
For example, a developer types 'find why the login test is flaky and fix it,' and Claude Code reads the repo, edits files, and runs tests until it passes.
