Vesper Code vs Claude Code

Claude Code is a strong terminal agent backed by Anthropic models, with solid tool use and a clean CLI.

Both are terminal-native. The difference is the loop: Vesper Code splits work across specialized agents and runs an independent reviewer with fresh context before a change reaches you.
