Claude Code
Claude Code is Anthropic's official agentic coding tool and one of the best agents for programming tasks.
Claude Code is the default suggested agent for NeoStack AI. In current stage, you almost get ~2000$ worth of API usage with a Claude Max subscription which is only 200$ per month. This makes using models like Opus 4.5 which are BEAST for coding tasks extremely cost effective.
