Claude Code (code.claude.com) — a reference for the main CLI of the agentic coding tool that runs in the terminal. Installation, quickstart, how the agentic loop works, CLAUDE.md memory, settings.json / environment variables / model configuration, keybindings / statusline / terminal settings,cli-reference（-p / --continue / --resume flags such as) · session management (resume, checkpointing, worktrees, remote control, channels, deep links) · covers troubleshooting.

Extensions such as Skills / MCP / subagents / hooks / plugins are at anthropic-claude-code-extend, the Agent SDK (when embedding it as a library) is at anthropic-agent-sdk, and direct calls to the Messages API are at anthropic-api-core (this skill handles the usage, configuration, and operation of the Claude Code CLI itself).
