Claude Dev has access to the following capabilities:
1. **`execute_command`**: Execute terminal commands on the system (only with your permission, output is streamed into the chat and you can respond to stdin or exit long-running processes when you're ready)
2. **`list_files_top_level`**: List all paths for files at the top level of the specified directory (useful for generic file operations like retrieving a file from your Desktop)
3. **`list_files_recursive`**: List all paths for files in the specified directory and nested subdirectories (excludes files in .gitignore)
2. **`read_file`**: Read the contents of a file at the specified path
3. **`write_to_file`**: Write content to a file at the specified path, automatically creating any necessary directories
4. **`view_source_code_definitions_top_level`**: Parses all source code files at the top level of the specified directory to extract names of key elements like classes and functions (see more below)
5. **`read_file`**: Read the contents of a file at the specified path
6. **`write_to_file`**: Write content to a file at the specified path, automatically creating any necessary directories
7. **`ask_followup_question`**: Ask the user a question to gather additional information needed to complete a task (due to the autonomous nature of the program, this isn't a typical chatbot–Claude Dev must explicitly interrupt his task loop to ask for more information)
8. **`attempt_completion`**: Present the result to the user after completing a task, potentially with a terminal command to kickoff a demonstration
5. **`list_files`**: List all paths for files in the specified directory. When `recursive = true`, it recursively lists all files in the directory and its nested folders (excludes files in .gitignore). When `recursive = false`, it lists only top-level files (useful for generic file operations like retrieving a file from your Desktop).
6. **`ask_followup_question`**: Ask the user a question to gather additional information needed to complete a task (due to the autonomous nature of the program, this isn't a typical chatbot–Claude Dev must explicitly interrupt his task loop to ask for more information)
7. **`attempt_completion`**: Present the result to the user after completing a task, potentially with a terminal command to kickoff a demonstration
### Working in Existing Projects
When given a task in an existing project, Claude will look for the most relevant files to read and edit the same way you or I would–by first looking at the names of directories, files, classes, and functions since these names tend to reflect their purpose and role within the broader system, and often encapsulate high-level concepts and relationships that help understand a project's overall architecture. With tools like `list_files_recursive` and `view_source_code_definitions_top_level`, Claude is able to extract names of various elements in a project to determine what files are most relevant to a given task without you having to mention `@file`s or `@folder`s yourself.

1. **File Structure**: Claude first uses the `list_files_recursive` tool to get a complete picture of the project's file structure. It turns out Claude 3.5 Sonnet is _really_ good at inferring what it needs to process further just from these file names alone.

2. **Source Code Definitions**: Claude may then use the `view_source_code_definitions_top_level` tool on specific directories of interest. This tool uses [tree-sitter](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter) to parse source code with custom tag queries that extract names of classes, functions, methods, and other definitions. It works by first identifying source code files that tree-sitter can parse (currently supports `python`, `javascript`, `typescript`, `ruby`, `go`, `java`, `php`, `rust`, `c`, `c++`, `c#`, `swift`), then parsing each file into an abstract syntax tree, and finally applying a language-specific query to extract definition names (you can see the exact query used for each language in `src/parse-source-code/queries`). The results are formatted into a concise & readable output that Claude can easily interpret to quickly understand the code's structure and purpose.
