Using Claude Code

Claude Code is an AI-powered CLI tool that can help you extend, modify, and debug your exported Buildable projects directly from the terminal.

Getting started

3

Ask Claude Code to make changes to your project in plain language:

What you can do

Claude Code understands your full project structure and can:
  • Add new pages and components — describe what you want and it generates the code
  • Modify existing code — “change the hero background to a gradient”
  • Add integrations — connect to databases, APIs, and third-party services
  • Debug issues — paste an error and get a fix
  • Refactor — “convert this component to use TypeScript interfaces”
  • Add tests — “write tests for the checkout flow”

Tips for best results

Claude Code works best when you’re specific about what you want. Instead of “make it better”, try “add a loading spinner to the submit button that shows while the form is submitting”.
  • Start with small changes and build up
  • Reference specific files when the project gets large
  • Use /help in Claude Code to see available commands
  • Review changes before committing — Claude Code shows you diffs
