## The Hook

Claude Code lives in your terminal and rewrites your entire codebase while you watch.

## What's Good

Claude Code is the coding agent that finally makes terminal-first development feel like the future. Type `claude`, describe what you want, and it reads your files, writes code, runs tests, and fixes what breaks—looping until the task is done. The context window handles entire repositories, not just single files. Multi-file refactors that would take hours happen in minutes.

## The Catch

The $200/month Max plan is what serious users need—the cheaper tiers hit limits fast on large codebases. Token consumption on big repositories gets expensive. There is no autocomplete; this is for delegating tasks, not for inline suggestions while you type.

## Verdict

The best terminal agent for complex multi-file work. Budget for Max tier.
