# Claude Code

## What it is

Claude Code is Anthropic's AI coding assistant CLI — the primary AI collaborator used across all PBS, homelab, and dev projects. It operates as an interactive terminal agent with tool access (file read/write, bash, search), skill system (reusable procedural prompts), and MCP server integration. In this stack, Claude Code runs via the Dispatch framework with Lovebug as the named agent instance. The wiki-vault compile loop, PBS automation skills, and project scaffolding all run through Claude Code.

## Current state

Active. Used extensively across:
- **Wiki maintenance** — this vault's compile and lint operations via `wiki-maintenance` skill
- **Code review** — a-review skill with Gemini CLI / Ollama backends as reviewer pool
- **Scaffolding** — project-scaffolding-skill for Python, Go, and web project bootstrap
- **Validation** — zero-check pipeline (gitleaks, ruff, semgrep gauntlet before deploy)
- **PBS SEO** — Google Search Console data → Claude API → meta tag generation
- **Session-notes convention** — structured note format standardized for AI-assisted capture
- **MCP integration** — homelab MCP server (`mcp.herbylab.dev`) exposed as Claude Code tool source

## Where it lives

- CLI: installed on herbydev (and wherever Travis works)
- Skills: `~/.claude/skills/` on herbydev
- MCP servers: configured in Claude Code settings, including `mcp.herbylab.dev`
- Model: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (as of May 2026)
