Coding agents

Claude Code

Anthropic's coding agent for terminal and IDE workflows, combining codebase exploration, file changes, command execution and Git workflows. This is the product itself, not the separately listed community ACP adapter. Its public repository hosts documentation, plugins and issue tracking rather than the complete agent source.

Overview

Research summary

Claude Code is Anthropic's service-backed coding agent for implementing features, fixing bugs, explaining code, running development commands, and handling Git workflows. The same underlying engine is available through a terminal CLI, IDE integrations, desktop and browser applications, and automation-oriented interfaces, although capabilities and account requirements vary by surface. It can inspect and modify multiple files, stage changes, create branches and pull requests, and run checks in the local environment.

CLAUDE.md files and memory provide persistent project guidance; skills, hooks, and MCP servers add reusable behavior, lifecycle commands, and access to external systems. Background agents support parallel sessions, while the Agent SDK exposes the engine for custom orchestration with configurable tools and permissions. These capabilities can write files, execute commands, and contact services, so approval and access settings remain operationally important.

This entry represents Claude Code itself, not the separately cataloged community ACP adapter. Anthropic's public repository contains documentation, examples, plugins, release material, and issue tracking, but not the complete proprietary runtime; its license points to Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service rather than an open-source license.
