# Claude Code

## Description
**Claude Code** is Anthropic's command-line / developer tool for interacting with Claude. The specific feature the speaker calls out: a `/context` command users can run to **audit exactly what is being loaded into the context window before a prompt is sent**.

## Role in This Source
Claude Code is the operational vehicle for [[action-measure-context]] and the 'Context Loading?' question of [[framework-stupid-button-audit]]. It is also the canonical example of **Measure Token Burn** — the 5th of [[framework-kiss-commands]].

## Why The `/context` Command Matters
Users commonly have **50,000+ tokens** loaded by enabled plugins/tools/instructions before they type their first character (the [[concept-silent-tax]]). `/context` makes that invisible cost visible — turning a guess into a measurement.

## Canonical Reference (from enrichment overlay)
Likely refers to Anthropic's Claude developer tooling / CLI / VS Code extension family. Public docs root: https://docs.anthropic.com/ (computer-use & build-with-claude pages cover related developer affordances).
