Claude Code overview
Source: Claude Code Docs Topic: Current product-level overview of Claude Code across surfaces, workflows, and integrations.
1. Multi-surface coding system
Anthropic now describes Claude Code as available in the terminal, IDE, desktop app, and browser. The docs present these surfaces as connected to the same underlying engine rather than as separate tools.
2. Agent teams and orchestration
The overview explicitly supports running multiple Claude Code agents and describes a lead-agent model for coordinating subtasks. It also points to an Agent SDK for building custom orchestration around Claude Code capabilities.
3. Review, CI, and git workflows
Claude Code is framed as working directly with git for commits and pull requests, and as usable in CI for automated code review and issue triage. That expands its role beyond a local assistant into a repeatable review and automation system.
4. Hooks, MCP, and recurring tasks
The docs put hooks, MCP integrations, recurring scheduled tasks, and remote-control flows in the core product story. Claude Code is therefore documented as a broader agentic platform with integrations and automation, not just a REPL.
