Claude Code
Anthropic's terminal-based agentic coding tool — runs in your CLI, edits codebases end-to-end.
Add Claude Code to your hut →Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool, built for the terminal rather than an IDE. It runs as a CLI command, reads your entire codebase, writes and edits files, runs tests, and iterates on failures — all without leaving the command line. Unlike GUI-based editors, Claude Code is designed to handle complex multi-step engineering tasks end-to-end: the kind that require understanding how dozens of files interact at once.
Billing is usage-based through the Anthropic API, so cost scales with how much you use it — most active users spend $10–50/mo. Most often compared to Cursor and Windsurf for agentic coding; Claude Code's edge is raw codebase reasoning depth and a terminal-first philosophy that fits naturally into existing developer workflows.
