Use Claude Code from Terminal

Open a terminal — either your regular Terminal/PowerShell. You can also use the built-in terminal panel inside Phoenix Code (View → Terminal, or the Terminal tab in the bottom panel), but we will try that later. Change folders so that you navigate to your project folder and run:

claude

Notice that you will be prompted to give permission for Claude to access this folder.

Edit files in Phoenix Code as usual. Claude Code operates on the same project folder from the terminal, so you’ll see its changes appear in the editor right away. (Phoenix Code does have its own AI chat panel that wraps Claude Code with a nicer visual diff and one-click restore points — we’re skipping it on purpose so the tool doesn’t feel like magic baked into the editor.)
