What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool. It reads your files, edits them and runs commands in the terminal, an IDE, Claude Desktop or the browser. Beyond code, it can work with documents and data in a project folder, use reusable skills and run routines on a schedule. Most ways to use it need a Claude subscription.

What Claude Code can do

  • Files and commands

    Claude Code reads the files in a project folder, edits them and runs commands to finish a task.

    Example: Turn an article into a set of illustrations with captions.

  • Skills

    Package repeatable work as a skill so Claude Code follows the same steps each time.

    Example: A sales-call review skill that checks a transcript against your checklist.

  • Routines

    Save a prompt and run it on a schedule, from an API call or on GitHub events, in Anthropic's cloud.

    Example: Every weekday morning, summarize yesterday's merged changes.

Get started with Claude Code

  1. Check your access: most ways to use Claude Code need a Claude subscription or an Anthropic Console account.
  2. Install Claude Code in your terminal, or open the Code tab in Claude Desktop, and sign in.
  3. Create a practice folder and start a session in it.
  4. Pick a recipe and paste its setup prompt, or add a skill from the list below by following the skills guide.
  5. Review every file change and result before you keep it.

What to check before you trust it

  • Work in a practice folder or a copy of your files first.
  • Review each file change before you keep it.
  • Remove connectors a routine does not need: routines run without stopping for approval.
  • Read a routine's run transcript. A green status only means the session ran, not that the task succeeded.

We have not run these setups ourselves. Recipes are written from public Claude Code documentation, and their examples are illustrative.
