Claude Code by Anthropic is an AI coding agent designed to work directly within a user's codebase, supporting tasks such as building, debugging, and shipping code. The tool is accessible through multiple platforms and environments, including macOS, Linux, Windows, terminal, web, iOS, Android, GitHub, VS Code, JetBrains, and Slack. This broad compatibility allows developers to interact with Claude Code across various workflows and devices.

Key features highlighted include the ability to manage coding tasks from different interfaces, configure routines that can run on a schedule or be triggered by API calls or events, and utilize dynamic workflows that execute tasks across numerous parallel subagents. The tool also introduces an "Agent view" for managing all Claude Code sessions in one place, and it is capable of opening applications, navigating browsers, and running development tools to complete assigned tasks. These capabilities are intended to streamline common development activities such as onboarding, triaging issues, refactoring, and understanding new codebases.

Claude Code is available through subscription plans. It is included in the Pro plan, which is suited for short coding sprints in small codebases and is priced at $17 per month with an annual subscription (billed at $200 upfront) or $20 per month if billed monthly. The Max plan, which offers greater usage for larger codebases, is priced at $100 per month, while a higher tier of the Max plan, designed for extensive access to Claude models, is available at $200 per month. All plans have usage limits, and prices do not include applicable taxes. Pricing and plan details are subject to change at Anthropic's discretion.
