Claude Code

Claude Code is a strong default for deep reasoning, complex refactors, and codebase-wide tasks.

Install

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
Verify:
claude --version

Models & auth

Claude Code runs on your own Anthropic access — a Claude subscription or an API key. Avibe drives the official CLI, so your authentication and model choice are exactly what you’d use in a terminal. Pick the model per agent in the Workbench, and keep credentials local.

Configure in Avibe

In the setup wizard:
  1. Enable Claude Code.
  2. Confirm the claude CLI path.
  3. Choose a default working directory.
  4. Route one or more chat channels to Claude Code.

Best for

Deep reasoning, multi-file refactors, and tasks that span a whole codebase. A common setup routes your #backend or complex-logic channels here — see Thread sessions for per-channel routing and mid-thread switching.

Usage notes

  • Keep your Claude Code authentication local.
  • Use chat threads to separate independent work.
  • Ask for a small first task to verify permissions and project path before a large refactor.
