Architecture in One Paragraph

Claude Code is a terminal AI coding assistant built as a React application running in a custom terminal UI framework (Ink, a React reconciler targeting terminal output with Yoga flexbox layout). The main loop (query.ts + QueryEngine.ts) streams responses from the Claude API, executes tools with user permission, and manages a 200K-token context window with automatic compaction. It has 100+ slash commands, 40+ tools (file I/O, shell, web, agents, MCP), a multi-agent system for parallel task execution, a memory system for long-term context, voice input, IDE integration via a bridge protocol (WebSocket/SSE), and a plugin/skills marketplace. The codebase is being rewritten in Rust (claude-code-rust/) as a complete standalone reimplementation.
