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. Features a plugin system with marketplace, `modelOverrides` setting for custom provider model IDs, and `autoMemoryDirectory` for custom auto-memory storage. Hooks now include StopFailure, Elicitation, ElicitationResult, PostCompact, and InstructionsLoaded events. Sandbox settings support `allowRead` for fine-grained file access, and `worktree.sparsePaths` enables efficient work in large monorepos. MCP servers support elicitation prompts and OAuth authentication.
