Claude Code is Anthropic’s product for agentic coding from the terminal, with access to your filesystem and tools as documented. Entry points and flags change; use Anthropic’s Claude Code documentation (or the current URL linked from anthropic.com) as the canonical reference.

How teams use it

Typical workflows include multi-file edits, test runs, and refactors guided by natural language. Treat output like any other contributor: run CI, read diffs, and enforce branch protection.

Permissions

Understand which directories and commands the tool can touch on your machine. Corporate environments may require allowlists or sandboxing.

Practical takeaway

Re-read release notes when Anthropic ships major behavior changes. Pair Claude Code with your existing code review culture rather than skipping review for speed.
