Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic’s AI coding tool, available as a VS Code extension, a JetBrains plugin, a desktop app, and a CLI. The IDE extensions are the easiest starting point.

Setup

Section titled “Setup”

Clone your application before opening it in your editor:

Terminal window
anybuild clone <your-app-url>

Then open the cloned folder in your preferred environment:

  • VS Code - install the Claude Code extension from the VS Code Marketplace, then open the folder
  • JetBrains - install the Claude Code plugin from JetBrains Marketplace, then open the folder
  • Desktop app - download the Claude Code desktop app from claude.ai/code, then open the folder
  • CLI - run claude from the terminal inside the cloned folder

Working with multiple applications

Section titled “Working with multiple applications”

If your instance has more than one application, consider opening your editor at the instance level rather than inside a single application:

my_instance/
  app1/    ← anybuild clone <app1-url>
  app2/    ← anybuild clone <app2-url>

Open the my_instance/ folder in Claude Code. The AI can then see and work across all your applications in one session. CLI commands must be run from inside a specific application folder - open a terminal per application when you need to push or pull.

Workflow

Section titled “Workflow”

Prompt the agent

Open the Claude Code panel and describe what you want to build or change. The AGENTS.md file at the root of your project is picked up automatically - no manual context loading needed.

Review changes

Terminal window
anybuild status

Lists all locally modified files across the tracked folders (ui/lit/components, be/node, be/plv8).

Push to the platform

Terminal window
anybuild push

Deploys your changes back to the Anybuild application.

Pull latest

Terminal window
anybuild pull

Fetches the latest version of your application code from the platform.
