Claude Code 2.0 introduces cutting-edge capabilities that enable more autonomous and efficient development workflows
Work directly in your IDE with real-time change visibility through a dedicated sidebar panel with inline diffs. Experience a richer, graphical development environment.
Automatically save code state before each change. Instantly rewind to previous versions with Esc twice or /rewind command. Explore with confidence.
Delegate specialized tasks to parallel agents. Build backend APIs while the main agent works on frontend, enabling efficient multi-threaded development.
Automatically trigger actions at specific points. Run test suites after code changes, lint before commits, or customize your workflow automation.
Keep long-running processes like dev servers active without blocking progress. Work on multiple tasks simultaneously with seamless multitasking.
Leverage the latest AI model for handling longer, more complex development tasks with improved understanding and code generation capabilities.
Everything you need to know about Claude Notes
Claude Code 2.0 is an advanced AI development tool that works in your terminal and IDE, powered by Sonnet 4.5. It features autonomous operation through subagents, hooks, checkpoints, and background tasks for handling complex development workflows.
Claude Code 2.0 introduces a native VS Code extension, an enhanced terminal interface with searchable history, automatic checkpoints for safe exploration, subagents for parallel workflows, hooks for automated actions, and background tasks for long-running processes.
Checkpoints automatically save your code state before each change made by Claude. You can instantly rewind to previous versions by tapping Esc twice or using the /rewind command. When rewinding, you can restore the code, conversation, or both to a prior state.
Subagents are specialized agents that handle specific tasks in parallel. For example, one subagent can build a backend API while the main agent works on the frontend, enabling efficient parallel development workflows.
The Claude Agent SDK (formerly Claude Code SDK) provides access to the core tools, context management systems, and permissions frameworks that power Claude Code. It allows teams to create custom agentic experiences for specific workflows, including support for subagents and hooks.
Download the VS Code extension from the VS Code Extension Marketplace for IDE integration, or update your terminal installation for the latest features. Sonnet 4.5 is the default model, but you can switch models using the /model command.
