Claude Code goes full on G.A. in VS Code

Claude Code is now out as a VS Code extension and its pretty wild how easy it makes things. You just click the Spark icon in your sidebar and you can start prompting Claude right there in your editor.

The cool part is you can watch it work in real time. It'll analyze your code, suggest changes, and you review the diffs right inline. There's an auto accept mode if you want it to just go, or you can manually approve each change. You can also @ mention files and drag in images which is super useful for explaining what you want.

It works with Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise, or pay as you go. Requires VS Code 1.98.0 or higher.

Check out the official docs or grab it from the VS Code Marketplace where its already hit over 3 million installs.

If you've tried it out, what kind of tasks are you finding it most useful for?
