What Is Claude Tag?

Claude Tag is a command-line tool that lets you chat with Claude, ask questions, get code explanations, and even generate snippets—all without leaving your terminal. Think of it as having a capybara buddy who’s always ready to help you navigate the swampy waters of development.
