Resolution criteria
Claude Code is available through three primary interfaces: a terminal (CLI) accessed by running claude in any terminal, a web version at claude.ai/code or the Claude iOS app, and a desktop app. Native extensions are also available for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs.
This market resolves YES if, on January 1, 2027, the terminal UI is the default interface for Claude Code as documented on Anthropic's official Claude Code website (https://claude.ai/code or https://code.claude.com). The default interface is defined as the primary or recommended way users are directed to access Claude Code when visiting the official documentation or product page.
This market resolves NO if any other interface (web, desktop app, IDE extension, or mobile) is presented as the default or primary interface on that date.
Background
Claude Code was released as an agentic command line tool in February 2025 and made generally available in May 2025. Anthropic recently introduced a native VS Code extension and version 2.0 of the terminal interface. The VS Code extension brings Claude Code directly into the IDE with a dedicated sidebar panel showing inline diffs, providing a richer, graphical experience for users who prefer IDEs over terminals.
Considerations
Claude Code is designed to meet users where they work, integrating with terminals, IDEs, and standalone applications. The question of which interface becomes "default" depends on Anthropic's strategic positioning and user adoption patterns. The recent introduction of IDE extensions and web/desktop alternatives suggests Anthropic is expanding beyond terminal-only access, which could influence which interface is promoted as the primary entry point by January 2027.
