Claude Code

Best use case

Turn a product brief into code changes, run tests, inspect errors, and iterate inside an existing repository.

Pricing note

Check the official Claude Code page before publishing pricing because plans and access can change quickly.

Test note

Use it on one existing repository task, record the diff, test output, and manual review notes before writing a recommendation.

Editorial verdict

Best treated as a serious repository assistant, not a magic app builder. It is strongest when the project already has clear files, tests, and review checkpoints.

Screenshot to capture

Capture the terminal session after Claude Code proposes edits, plus the final Git diff and test command output.

Hands-on test plan

1. Run it on a small existing repository task such as adding a new static page.
2. Record the exact prompt, files changed, and commands run.
3. Review the diff manually and keep test output before publishing a recommendation.
