About Claude Code
Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that runs in your terminal, reads your entire codebase, and can autonomously write, edit, and debug code across multiple files. It executes shell commands, runs tests, and fixes failures in a loop — acting as a true software agent rather than just an autocomplete tool.
