Kodu

Claude Coder is an open-source developer environment that integrates Anthropic’s Claude models directly into the coding workflow, functioning as a local or hosted AI pair programmer. It provides conversational and in-line code assistance, helping developers write, refactor, and debug code through context-aware interactions. The system runs through a local interface or within VS Code and other editors, maintaining privacy by keeping context on-device when possible. Claude Coder supports large-context interactions, enabling the AI to process entire repositories or multi-file structures rather than isolated snippets. It includes conversation history, diff previews, and code-generation templates for repetitive tasks. The project also focuses on openness—developers can extend it with plugins, API configurations, and custom model backends to use Anthropic’s Claude or other compatible LLM APIs.
