About Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's official agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal. It understands your entire codebase, can edit files, run commands, search the web, and interact with external tools. Visit the official Claude Code documentation for more details.

Features

Feature	Description
Agentic Coding	Claude Code operates as an autonomous agent: it reads your codebase, edits files, creates new ones, runs shell commands, and iterates until the task is complete.
Full Codebase Context	Understands your entire project structure, dependencies, and conventions. No need to manually select files or provide context.
Terminal Native	Runs directly in your terminal with no IDE plugin required. Works with any editor, any workflow, any language.
Git Integration	Creates commits, manages branches, resolves merge conflicts, and creates pull requests. Built to work with your existing Git workflow.
Tool Use & MCP	Supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, allowing integration with databases, APIs, browsers, and other external tools.
Multi-model Support	Works with all Claude models (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) through UnoRouter. Switch models on the fly with /model command.
Extended Thinking	Supports extended thinking mode for complex reasoning tasks. Claude thinks through problems step by step before responding.
Image & File Input	Drag and drop images or paste screenshots directly into the terminal. Supports reading PDFs, CSVs, and other file formats.
Safe by Default	Asks for permission before running potentially destructive commands. Configurable permission levels for automated workflows.
