What Claude Code Can Do

Opens, edits, and creates files anywhere in your project. Understands code, configs, docs, and data files.

Executes shell commands, runs scripts, installs packages, and manages your dev environment.

Searches the internet for documentation, Stack Overflow answers, package info, and current events.

Sees your screen, clicks buttons, fills forms, and navigates apps. No setup needed.

Reasons step-by-step through complex problems before answering. Like having it "think out loud."

Remembers your preferences, projects, and past decisions across sessions. Gets better over time.

Understands code structure, traces call stacks, follows imports, and navigates large codebases.

Executes test suites, reads failures, and fixes broken tests. Supports Jest, Vitest, pytest, and more.

Commits, branches, merges, creates PRs, and manages your version control workflow.

Scans your project structure, reads configs, and understands your tech stack automatically.

Create reusable /commands with a Markdown file. No code needed. Your personal automations.

Spin up specialized agents for parallel tasks. A reviewer, a tester, a researcher -- all at once.

Trigger shell commands automatically on events. Auto-format on save, lint before commit.

Searches across files with regex, glob patterns, and AST-aware queries. Faster than grep.

Claude proposes a plan before acting. Review and approve before any changes are made.

Multiple Claude sessions collaborating in parallel. Each handles a different part of the work.
