Summary

The AI Coding Agents section currently covers GitHub Copilot, Copilot Chat, Claude (web/API), and Cursor — but is missing Claude Code, Anthropic's agentic CLI tool that works fundamentally differently from the Claude web interface.

This PR adds:

  • New page: claude-code-agent.md — Covers Claude Code's unique capabilities for AL development:

    • Terminal-native agentic execution with direct file system access
    • Build-verify-fix loops (runs al.build, reads errors, fixes, retries)
    • MCP (Model Context Protocol) extensibility for BC-specific tooling
    • CLAUDE.md project context files for persistent conventions
    • VS Code extension integration
    • Practical AL examples: feature telemetry, bug fixing, event subscribers, translations
  • Updated _index.md:

    • Added Claude Code to the agent listing
    • Added Claude Code column to comparison matrix
    • Added 3 new comparison rows: Agentic Execution, MCP Extensibility, Shell/Build Access
    • Updated "Choosing the Right Agent" and "Using Multiple Agents" sections

The page follows the same structure and detail level as the existing agent pages.

Why this matters

Claude Code represents a different category of AI coding tool — it's not a chat interface or an inline completer, but an agentic tool that reads/writes files, runs commands, and iterates autonomously. AL developers using it today have no reference page on alguidelines.dev.

Claude Code (Anthropic's agentic CLI tool) was missing from the agents directory.
This adds a new page covering its unique capabilities for AL development:
- Terminal-native agentic execution with file system access
- MCP extensibility for BC-specific tooling
- CLAUDE.md project context files
- Build-verify-fix loops
- VS Code extension integration

Also updates the index page with Claude Code in the agent listing,
comparison matrix (with new Agentic Execution, MCP, Shell/Build rows),
and recommendation sections.
