Claude Code

Claude Code là agentic coding tool that works ở đâu bạn work — terminal, IDE, browser, even Slack. It understands codebase, executes commands, handles entire development workflows qua natural language.

Đây không phải copy-paste-AI-chat

Traditional: Copy code vào ChatGPT → copy response → paste back editor → test → repeat.

Claude Code: Claude directly edits files, runs tests, creates commits trong codebase của bạn. Bạn delegate task, Claude execute.

Khi nào dùng Claude Code?

1. Build features qua natural language

Claude:

2. Debug issues

Claude:

3. Navigate unfamiliar codebase

Claude:

4. Automate tedious tasks

5. Stay in terminal workflow

Prefer terminal over web? Claude Code lives ở đó. No context switch to browser.

Setup

Works với:

Caveats

• Reads existing auth code
• Writes new feature matching pattern
• Generates tests
• Shows diff, awaits approval
• Analyzes codebase
• Identifies root cause
• Proposes fix với explanation
• Applies if you approve
• Traces code paths
• Explains architecture
• Highlights key files
• Fix lint errors across 50 files
• Resolve merge conflicts
• Write release notes from commits
• Rename variables across entire project
• Download + cài từ claude.com/code (xem hướng dẫn hiện hành trên trang đó)
• Login với Claude account
• Mở trong project folder → start chatting
• Terminal (main)
• IDE extensions (VS Code, JetBrains)
• Claude Desktop Code tab (xem Bài 04)
• Browser (claude.ai/code)
• Slack (@Claude in code discussions)
• Not for non-dev tasks. Marketing copy → Chat. Code → Claude Code.
• Local code privacy: trong Local mode, code doesn't leave machine. Cloud mode syncs repo.
• Accountability: Claude writes code, but you ship. Review, especially production changes.

Claude in Slack

2 access methods

Anti-patterns

❌ Stick với 1 flavor cho mọi task

Biểu hiện: Use Claude.ai web cho Excel work (upload file, chat, download new version, integrate manually).

Tại sao sai: Claude for Excel sidebar nhanh hơn đáng kể cho Excel tasks — không phải upload/download qua lại.

Cách đúng: Match flavor to context.

❌ Switch flavors unnecessarily

Biểu hiện: Open 5 different Claude flavors concurrently, duplicate work.

Tại sao sai: Confusion. Context fragmented.

Cách đúng: Pick right one for current task. Switch only when task changes.

❌ Use preview features cho production-critical tasks

Biểu hiện: Use Claude for Chrome (research preview) cho financial transactions.

Tại sao sai: Preview = not fully hardened. Mistakes happen.

Cách đúng: Wait cho GA, or use established features. Preview = low-stakes testing.

❌ Forget security posture của mỗi flavor

Biểu hiện: Post sensitive info trong Claude in Slack thread (visible to channel).

Tại sao sai: Privacy leak.

Cách đúng: Sensitive → DM Claude in Slack (private) hoặc Claude.ai. Know each flavor's visibility.

❌ Not testing before committing (Claude Code especially)

Biểu hiện: Claude Code auto-commit, bạn không review diff.

Tại sao sai: AI can make subtle mistakes. Reviewing = your job.

Cách đúng: Default "Ask" or "Plan" mode. Review diffs. Run tests.
