Claude Code is an intelligent agentic coding assistant that lives in your terminal and understands your entire codebase. It helps developers code faster by executing routine tasks, explaining complex code snippets, and managing git workflows—all via natural language commands. Claude Code integrates seamlessly into your terminal, IDE, or GitHub by tagging @claude to interact with your code context. The tool is designed to simplify development by automating repetitive work and providing instant clarifications on code behavior. User feedback and usage data are collected responsibly, with strict privacy safeguards and limited retention, ensuring no feedback is used to train generative models. Claude Code is open and actively maintained with community-driven bug reporting and feature requests. Its natural language interface makes advanced coding workflows accessible without leaving your coding environment.
