Claude Code

Anthropic's agentic coding tool that reads, writes, and runs code across a project.

Definition

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool, built around its Claude models, that works across a whole project from the command line and integrated editors. It can read files, write and edit code, and run commands, letting developers delegate larger coding tasks rather than copy-pasting suggestions. It is part of the broader category of AI coding agents.
