About
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic software engineering tool, launched in February 2025 as a command-line interface that operates directly in developer terminals. Unlike IDE-based coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf), Claude Code operates at the shell level — reading and editing files, running tests, committing to Git, and executing long multi-step engineering tasks autonomously. It is built on Claude 3.7 Sonnet's extended thinking capability and is available as an npm package ($0.001–0.015 per token via Anthropic API).
