Your input needed: would you use this? This is an early look at how we’re thinking about making Claude Code way more extensible. It’s a little crazy, and very exciting. More details here: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/91870…

Claude Code
Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal, understands your codebase, and helps you code faster by executing routine tasks, explaining complex code, and handling git workflows – all through natural language commands. Use it in your terminal, IDE, or tag @claude on Github.
