What is Claude Code?
Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-based CLI coding agent.
It can automate development workflows without IDE lock-in, including file edits, test runs, and Git operations.
How is it used?
Developers provide goal-oriented instructions such as "migrate this API and update related tests," and the agent executes the workflow step by step.
It is commonly used for complex refactoring and repetitive automation tasks.
Why does it matter?
Claude Code is strong in autonomy and editor-agnostic operation.
Because usage is often API-metered, teams usually define scope boundaries and monthly cost caps before broad rollout.
