Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool: it reads a codebase, edits files, runs commands and works with git, using Claude models. It started as a terminal tool in February 2025 and now runs in IDEs, a desktop app and the browser, making it one of the main reference products for coding agents.

He says Claude Code wrote the code, tests and first draft of the description under his direction, and measurements on his laptop show about 3x throughput in one narrow test.·5 min readProducts · NewsClaude Max and Team API credits: how the free $100–$500 a month worksSince October 7, 2026, Claude Max subscribers get $100 or $200 a month in Claude API credits and Team plans get up to $500 pooled. Who qualifies, how to claim them, what they cover (not interactive Claude Code), and when they expire.·5 min readAgents · ExplainerPrompt injection explained: why AI agents that read web pages, email and documents can be hijacked, and which defenses workPrompt injection lets text an AI agent reads, such as a web page, an email or a README, override what you asked it to do. Why models can't reliably tell instructions from data, the incidents that prove it, and the defenses OWASP, NIST, Google DeepMind, Anthropic and OpenAI say actually reduce the risk.·8 min readResearch · AnalysisMulti-agent vs. single-agent coding: Vals AI finds agent teams cost 1.8× to 5.1× more for one significant gainVals AI ran GPT-6 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 on 50 Vibe Code Bench web apps, alone and as agent teams. Teams cost 1.8× to 5.1× as much, and only one of four team-vs-single comparisons showed a statistically significant quality gain.·7 min readDevelopers · ExplainerClaude Code's "Compacted while idle" message, explained: why it happens and how to turn it offSince about version 2.1.286, Claude Code can summarize a large conversation on its own shortly before its one-hour prompt cache expires. Why Anthropic does it, when it fires, what it costs you, and the one-line setting that stops it.·9 min readAgents · AnalysisThe case against unattended agents: what went wrong, and how sandboxing actually worksFrom a deleted production database to poisoned npm releases, documented agent failures share a pattern.
