# Claude Code

Tool · [Standard tools and platforms](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/tools)

Also called: Cloud Code, Claud Code, Clawed Code, Claude Code CLI, Anthropic Claude Code

An [AI coding](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/vibe-coding) [agent](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/ai-agent) made by [Anthropic](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/claude). It reads the code in a project, edits files and runs commands to carry out a task a person describes. It runs in the [terminal](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/terminal), in [code editors](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/code-editor), in a desktop app and on the web. It is the same kind of tool as [Codex](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/codex).

**For example:** A [developer](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/software-engineer) types, 'Add a forgot-[password](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/authentication) link to the login page.' Claude Code finds the files, makes the change and runs the tests, and the developer reviews the result.
