How it works
The tool is known for careful, thorough work on complex tasks. It reads your project structure, follows your instructions in files such as CLAUDE.md, and keeps a clear record of what it changed. It also integrates with GitHub, so it can work on issues and pull requests, and it supports custom commands and hooks.
