Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal, understands your codebase, and helps you code faster by executing routine tasks, explaining complex code, and handling git workflows - all through natural language commands.
FirstCoder is an open-source local coding agent that’s useful enough to run, small enough to read end to end, and structured enough to learn from. If you’re building your own agent, it’s a practical reference—not a black box.
