"We recently released Claude Code, a command line tool for agentic coding. Developed as a research project, Claude Code gives Anthropic engineers and researchers a more native way to integrate Claude into their coding workflows.

Claude Code is intentionally low-level and unopinionated, providing close to raw model access without forcing specific workflows. This design philosophy creates a flexible, customizable, scriptable, and safe power tool. While powerful, this flexibility presents a learning curve for engineers new to agentic coding tools—at least until they develop their own best practices.

This post outlines general patterns that have proven effective, both for Anthropic's internal teams and for external engineers using Claude Code across various codebases, languages, and environments. Nothing in this list is set in stone nor universally applicable; consider these suggestions as starting points. We encourage you to experiment and find what works best for you!"

"So yeah, it looks like "ultrathink" is a Claude Code feature - presumably that 31999 is a number that affects the token thinking budget, especially since "megathink" maps to 1e4 tokens (10,000) and just plain "think" maps to 4,000."
