Assessments are editorial inferences from the stated properties. Actual time requirements and reliability have not been measured. Deployment covered: Local CLI; scope depends on version and permission mode Sources reviewed: 2026-10-10 ### Files and work state Documented: Conversations can be resumed with --continue or --resume; checkpoints store file changes tracked by Claude. Evidence: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/checkpointing ### Authentication Documented with conditions: The CLI supports sign-in and authentication status checks. The lifetime of connected logins remains open here. Evidence: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/cli-reference ### Starting further runs Documented: Start interactively in the terminal or from a script using print mode. Evidence: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/cli-reference ### Human intervention Documented with conditions: Approvals depend on permission mode and configured rules. Evidence: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions ### Detecting errors Documented: CLI diagnostics and debug output support troubleshooting. Evidence: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/cli-reference ### Recovering from errors Documented with conditions: Rewind can restore tracked file edits. It does not undo shell changes or external actions. Evidence: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/checkpointing ### Editorial assessment Attention is mainly needed for tool permissions and code review. Limited checkpoint coverage makes additional version control advisable. ## Provider Anthropic is an AI research and product company organized as a public benefit corporation.

Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview ### Project rules and memory CLAUDE.md describes project requirements. Auto Memory records findings; existing AGENTS.md rules can also be included. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview ### Skills and slash commands Skills bundle instructions and supporting files for recurring tasks. They can be invoked directly or used when relevant to the task. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills ### Hooks for agent events Hooks run configured actions at defined events, such as checks before tool calls or after file changes. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks ### MCP connections MCP connects Claude Code to external tools and data sources, such as tickets, documentation, or your own services. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview ### Parallel agent work Multiple agents can work on subtasks at the same time. An Agent SDK is also available for standalone applications. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview ### Git and reviews Claude Code can review changes, prepare branches and commits, and create pull requests. The results still require review. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview ### Schedules and cloud routines Depending on the variant, recurring tasks run locally, within a session, or as a cloud routine. Some routines can respond to events. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview ### CI workflows and Agent SDK Claude Code can run in GitHub Actions and GitLab CI/CD; the Agent SDK exposes the agent core for custom applications. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview ### Control a local session remotely Remote Control connects a running local session to other devices; execution stays in the local environment. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control ### Inspect web interfaces in Chrome The Chrome integration supports inspecting and debugging running web applications. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/chrome ## Requirements and limits ### Local installation with internet access Requirement: The CLI requires a supported operating system, at least 4 GB of RAM, and an internet connection. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/setup ### Write and execution permissions Requirement: In manual mode, sessions start with read access. File changes and commands require approval; settings and organization rules determine the scope. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/security ### Desktop access requires a paid subscription Limitation: The desktop app already includes Claude Code. Anthropic requires a paid subscription for this access method; other access methods have their own requirements. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview ### Shared subscription allowances Limitation: Claude Code and Claude share subscription usage limits. Weekly limits may apply in addition to session limits; API usage is billed separately. Source: https://claude.com/pricing ## Example workflows ### Fix bugs and test - Your input: Reproducible error, repository, and project rules. - Possible result: A focused diff with tests and remaining uncertainties. - What to check: Reproduce the bug; review behavior and changes. ### Recurring code review - Your input: Review skill, repository, and permitted review scope. - Possible result: A prioritized report with references and proposed changes. - What to check: Review findings and decide before merging. ## Context Local execution requires a supported operating system, 4 GB of RAM and internet access. Claude Code and Claude share subscription allowances; write and command permissions follow approvals and organization rules. Official overview, setup, skills, hooks and security documentation checked. Auto Mode is documented for interactive terminal and VS Code sessions; manual approvals, rules and organization policies continue to determine the applicable scope. Surfaces and routines have their own prerequisites. ## Sources - https://claude.com/product/claude-code - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/setup - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/security - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/chrome - https://claude.com/pricing [Sources and method](https://agenten-kompass.mmeierhoff.chatgpt.site/en/sources/)
