    Claude Code

    Anthropic

    Anthropic's official CLI / IDE / web agent. Primary author at Blokz.

    Claude Code is our lead architect. It reads the spec, drafts the diff, runs the tests, and opens the PR — across CLI, IDE extensions, the desktop app, and the web. Everything on blokz.dev was built with it.

    Codeium

    Cascade agent + IDE. Codeium's developer surface.
