DESCRIPTION
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic CLI tool that lets developers delegate coding tasks directly from the terminal. It reads project context from CLAUDE.md files at multiple directory levels and supports hierarchical configuration with global, user, and project scopes. Configuration includes settings.json for permissions, .mcp.json for MCP servers, .claude/rules/ for modular instructions, and .claude/skills/ for reusable task definitions.
