> **This is a source mirror — partial, by necessity.** This Hugging Face repository is not a model checkpoint — it's a read-only mirror of the [`anthropics/claude-code`](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code) GitHub repository. Claude Code's core agent is closed-source and distributed as an npm package; this GitHub repo (and this mirror) contains only the public surrounding material — docs, examples, plugins, and scripts — not the agent engine itself.

# Claude Code

Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal, understands your codebase, and helps you code faster by executing routine tasks, explaining complex code, and handling git workflows -- all through natural language commands. Use it in your terminal, IDE, or tag @claude on Github.

**Learn more in the [official documentation](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview)**.
