Anthropic's CLI coding agent — runs in the terminal, reads/writes files, runs shell commands, invokes tools via MCP.
Shipped as a research preview in February 2025 alongside Claude 3.7. Differs from Cursor/Windsurf by being terminal-native (not an editor fork) — you invoke it from your normal shell, it modifies files in place. Slash commands, hooks, agents/subagents, plugins, settings.json. A major driver of the "vibe coding" wave in 2025. Tight integration with Anthropic's MCP for custom tooling.
