Coding agents & CLIs
Claude Code
Anthropic's coding agent in the terminal — reads the repo, edits files, runs commands, and works with git.
- npm weekly downloads
- 10.3M/ week
Install
npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-codeInstall with npm, then run claude in a project folder. Also available in IDEs and related Anthropic surfaces; macOS, Linux, and Windows.
It works in your codebase: open and change files, run shell commands and tests, and handle common git tasks from plain-language prompts.
Longer jobs can run with /goal (keep going until a condition is met). Agent View helps watch multiple sessions. Separate from the claude.ai chat apps.
