🚀 Setup

Node.js 18+, then `npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code`, run `claude` in your project, sign in with a Claude account or API key.

⚠️ Main limitations

  • Subscription plans have session and weekly usage caps — very long agent runs can hit them.
  • You need a paid Claude plan (or API billing) before you can start.
