Claude Dev brings Anthropic's Claude models into VS Code with repo-aware chat, code edits, and explanations. It indexes referenced files, keeps conversation context tidy, and proposes minimal diffs you can review and apply.
Typical tasks include implementing features across multiple files, fixing failing tests, writing docs, and refactoring with step-by-step reasoning. Because it uses Claude's strong reasoning and long context, it handles large files and cross-file changes with fewer hallucinations and clearer plans.
