# Claude Code

> Strong default choice for general-purpose coding, review loops, and longer implementation passes in Conductor OSS.

Agent guide

Claude Code is the strong default when one agent needs to handle implementation, review iteration, and longer task loops without a lot of custom routing logic.

Binary: `claude-code`
Aliases: `claude`, `cc`
Best for long implementation loops

## Set up Claude Code in Conductor

**1. Install Claude Code**

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
```

**2. Complete authentication**

Follow the CLI login flow so the `claude-code` binary can run successfully from the same shell environment that will launch Conductor.

**3. Launch Conductor**

```bash theme={null}
npx --yes --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org conductor-oss@latest
```

Add a workspace if this is the first run, then choose Claude Code as the default agent for the project.

**4. Set it as the project default**

```yaml theme={null}
projects:
  my-app:
    agent: claude-code
    agentConfig:
      model: claude-sonnet-4-6
```

## Model selection in Conductor

Conductor does not keep a separate Claude model whitelist.

The Claude Code CLI, your Anthropic account, and your workspace permissions decide which Claude models are available in that environment.

* leave `agentConfig.model` unset when you want Conductor to follow the current Claude Code default
* pin `agentConfig.model` only when a repository needs one exact Claude model for repeatability
* use repo-level defaults first and keep task-level model changes rare

## Why teams pick Claude Code

* reliable default for mixed codebases
* good review-followup behavior
* easy fit for repos that do not need exotic routing
