Claude Code is a terminal-based, agentic AIArtificial Intelligence - technology that enables machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as language understanding, pattern recognition, and decision-making. tool from Anthropic that allows developers to delegate complex coding tasks to the AI. Unlike chat-based coding assistants, Claude Code works directly within the codebase: reading files, executing commands, writing and editingThe third step in VEE - manual correction of metering values that cannot be resolved automatically, with full audit trail for all changes. code, running tests and iterating based on output. Claude Code is built on Anthropic's Claude model and designed for long, multi-step workflows such as refactoring, debugging, documentation and architectural changes. It is one of the leading platforms in the agentic developmentDevelopment methodology where autonomous AI agents plan and execute multi-step tasks without manual intervention at each step. wave that began in 2024–2025.
