For more complex editing, I have switched over to Claude Code, an agentic coding tool developed by Anthropic that integrates directly into your terminal, offering AI-powered assistance to enhance development workflows. Currently in beta as a research preview. At present, Claude Code uses claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219 by default.

  • Claude Code can edit files, fix bugs, and refactor code across your entire codebase, providing explanations of architecture and logic in natural language.

  • It handles routine tasks such as testing, linting, and interacting with version control systems like Git, including searching, merging, committing, and reviewing pull requests.

  • The tool is capable of generating structured, multi-file code solutions, managing large codebases, and utilizing tools within intricate programming workflows.

So far, I have been impressed but the API is quite expensive.
