Claude Code Action

Claude is a family of large language models developed and hosted by Anthropic. Available through Anthropic's web chat products and a commercial API, Claude accepts text prompts (and structured inputs or file attachments via the API) and returns natural-language and code outputs for tasks such as coding, summarization, document Q&A, and general business and productivity workflows; it is used inside Anthropic products (for example Claude Code) and by third-party services via Anthropic's API and enterprise agreements.

A CI/CD and automation platform from GitHub (Microsoft) that runs YAML-defined workflows in response to repository events, schedules, or API calls. Workflows orchestrate jobs on GitHub-hosted or self-hosted runners (Ubuntu, Windows, macOS or custom runners), invoke container, JavaScript or composite actions, and produce artifacts (build outputs, test reports, generated files). It supports secrets, caching, matrix and reusable workflows, the Actions Marketplace, and can run arbitrary CLI tools (for example, invoking a D2 CLI in a workflow to generate architecture diagrams from D2 source files).

Claude Code Templates is a CLI tool and web catalog for configuring and monitoring Anthropic's Claude Code. It provides installable agents, custom slash commands, settings, hooks, skills, MCP integrations, and project templates, which can be selected interactively or installed with commands such as `npx claude-code-templates@latest --agent ...`. The CLI also includes analytics for monitoring development sessions, a conversation monitor with optional Cloudflare Tunnel access, health checks for Claude Code installations, and a plugin dashboard for viewing marketplaces, installed plugins, and permissions. The project aggregates components from Anthropic and community sources, while retaining their stated licenses and attributions; the project itself is licensed under the MIT License.

OpenClaude is an open-source, terminal-first coding-agent CLI for cloud and local model providers. It connects to OpenAI-compatible APIs, Gemini, GitHub Models, Codex, Ollama, Atomic Chat, and other supported backends, providing prompts, streaming output, Bash and file tools, grep, glob, agents, tasks, MCP, slash commands, web search and fetch, and image inputs for compatible providers. The CLI supports guided provider setup with saved profiles, conversation continuation and forking, detached local background sessions, model-specific agent routing, repository maps based on PageRank-ranked code structure, and a headless bidirectional-streaming gRPC server for integrations, CI/CD pipelines, and custom interfaces. A bundled VS Code extension provides launch integration, in-editor chat, provider-aware controls, and theme support. OpenClaude runs on Node.js 22 or newer, is distributed through npm and an Arch Linux AUR package, and can use local inference or remote APIs. Its repository is licensed MIT for the project's modifications and states that it is an independent community project derived from and substantially modified from the Claude Code codebase, without Anthropic affiliation.

Everything Claude Code is a Claude Code plugin and toolkit containing configurable agents, skills, slash commands, rules, hooks, contexts, MCP server configurations, scripts, and tests for AI-assisted software development. Its agents delegate tasks such as planning, code review, security review, testing, and build-error resolution. Skills define workflows including test-driven development, security review, continuous learning, and verification; hooks run on Claude Code tool or session events to load and save context, suggest compaction, and evaluate sessions; and rules provide persistent guidance for security, coding style, testing, Git workflow, delegation, and performance. Node.js scripts support Windows, macOS, and Linux and detect a project's preferred package manager from environment settings, project configuration, package.json, lock files, or global configuration. The repository can be installed as a Claude Code plugin or copied into Claude configuration directories manually. It includes a Node.js test suite and is distributed under the MIT license.
