Claude Code by Anthropic: Powerful AI Coding Agent for Your Terminal 🚀

Discover Anthropic's official Claude Code agent, bringing AI-powered coding directly to your terminal—no VSCode needed!

Unleashing the Power of AI Coding with official Agent “Claude Code” from Anthropic! 🚀

The new official coding agent has been released by Anthropic. What’s big about it is that it replicates a lot of functionality that the amazing Cursor editor agent already has - but it does so in the terminal and it is completely independent of the VSCode environment.

$ npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
$ npx claude

Even though Anthropic has not released source code to this tool to the public yet, there has been an effort to transcompile the package from the minified source back into the typescript source. I have not tried the transcompiled package myself and I’m not affiliated with it, but you can find it for the satisfaction of educational curiosity here: https://github.com/ghuntley/claude-code-source-code-transpilation/tree/main.

Tutorials on how to use the Claude Code agent

Vist the official docs at https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/claude-code/tutorials. It’s a great resource!

I have been using Claude with Cursor and it’s absolutely amazing how good the model is. It is a thinking model meaning that it’s trained to respond to feedback from tools and create thought patterns where it then requests your agent to call tools to accomplish a task. I’m excited that Anthropic is releasing their own cli client to make the model useful at scale.

Let’s dive into top AI Agent creation tutorials of today!

I’ve been building my own agent and I have been able to implement lot’s of cool features like setting it up as an SSE model context protocol server and exposing the tools to Cursor (if you are not familiar with it, MCP is a standardized way of exposing tools to agents). I haven’t had time to record a detailed walkthrough though but I have a lot of materials that I’m currently working on. It’s a balance for me between getting work done and sharing how I do it. :)

What I can do however is share with you the hottest up to date resources that I’m learning from. I absolutely love where the development is going with AI agents. This is such an incredibly hot topic and we are just getting started here. This is huge! This is going to be transforming how we interact with computers forever!
