Full Transcript

Claude Code isn't just a chat window. You can pipe data straight into it. Add the dash P flag and Claude answers once and exits. No conversation needed, just a clean answer in your terminal. Pipe your git diff into Claude and ask it to spot security issues. You get a full review in seconds. Pipe your error logs into Claude and ask for a plain English explanation. No more guessing what broke and why. Add the output format flag to get structured JSON back. Now Claude fits cleanly into any script or automation pipeline. Any text you can pipe, Claude can process. Start using it as a terminal tool today.
