by anthropics · github.com/anthropics/claude-code
Run Anthropic’s official terminal-native coding agent that reads your repo, executes tasks, explains code, and extends via plugins, skills, and hooks across the solo-builder journey.
Add it to Claude Code
Install the plugin in Claude Code. One command, paste-ready.
/plugin install anthropics-claude-code@anthropics/claude-codeBuilt to be called by your agent
Skillselion is itself an MCP server. Your agent can pull this entry and a paste-ready install config straight from the API - no copy-paste.
Retrieve this entry with skillselion.get_details("plugin:anthropics/claude-code") and the paste-ready config with skillselion.get_install_config("plugin:anthropics/claude-code").
What it does
anthropics/claude-code is Anthropic’s official agentic coding tool for the terminal. Solo builders install it as the foundation layer for AI-assisted development: it navigates files, runs commands, explains architecture, handles git, and loads plugins that add review, security, design, and workflow skills. Unlike a single-purpose skill, Claude Code is journey-wide infrastructure—you use it during validate prototypes, full-stack build, pre-ship review passes, and operate iterations when production bugs land. The catalog listing highlights a rich plugin keyword surface (hooks, skills, ralph loops, hookify, opus/sonnet tooling, validation, and migration helpers), reflecting how extensible the core harness is. Pair it with domain-specific plugins and MCP servers from Skillselion rather than expecting this repo alone to solve billing, SEO, or analytics. Complexity is intermediate because mastery means learning permissions, hooks, and when to delegate to subagents or skills.
Highlights
- Terminal agent that understands your codebase and runs natural-language dev tasks
- Official plugin ecosystem with multiple bundled capabilities (13 plugins in catalog metadata)
- Git workflows, commit assistance, and iterative editing without leaving the CLI
- Skills, hooks, custom commands, and SDK integration for extensible agent behavior
- Specialized sub-capabilities including review, security awareness, frontend design, and migration helpers
Why builders use it
Builders need a trustworthy terminal agent that sees the whole repo and executes real dev work instead of chat-only suggestions disconnected from their git tree.
After you install Claude Code and enable plugins, you ship faster with an agent that edits files, runs workflows, and loads skills while staying anchored to your codebase and git history.
