Claude Code reads, edits, runs commands, and opens pull requests from the terminal, IDE, and desktop app. ProPR runs the same CLI unattended: you approve a plan, Claude implements in isolation, and the result arrives as a pull request your team reviews in GitHub.
Claude Code owns the live session. ProPR turns a scoped task into a reviewed pull request on your Claude plan, with every run on record.
Claude Code is Anthropic's full implementation agent, distributed under Anthropic's commercial terms with closed source. Its terminal workflow supports code exploration, multi-file edits, commands, tests, Git operations, pull requests, a plan mode that proposes changes before making them, and an optional OS-enforced sandbox for shell commands. It runs Claude models on a Claude Pro, Max, Ultra, Team, or Enterprise plan, an Anthropic API key, or Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry. Direct use gives you the shortest feedback loop while you investigate a bug, shape a change, or guide each decision. Inside GitHub, the Claude Code GitHub Action responds to @claude mentions in issue and PR comments, implements changes, and pushes commits once you install the Claude GitHub App and add a workflow file.
Claude Code inside ProPR implements on the same Claude plan or API key. You approve the plan, Claude works in an isolated workspace, and ProPR opens the pull request with the full run attached.
From there the pull request drives the work. A plain GitHub comment becomes the next commit on the same branch, with no @claude mention, Claude GitHub App, or workflow file. Claude also runs goals inside ProPR with live steering, and a Codex or Antigravity CLI run can review or follow up on the PR Claude opened.
| Question | Claude Code CLI | ProPR with Claude Code |
|---|---|---|
| Live terminal conversation with the repository | Yes | No, unattended runs |
| Open source | No, Anthropic commercial terms | Apache 2.0 |
| Plan before implementation | Plan mode in the session | Reviewed plan on every task |
| Where it edits | Your checkout, within permissions | Isolated workspace per task |
| Creates branches and pull requests | Yes | Every task |
| Shared task history and logs | Local session state | Yes |
| PR comments become follow-up commits | @claude via the GitHub Action and App | Any plain comment |
| The same task path supports other coding agents | No, Claude models only | Five supported agents |
Stay in the terminal while the work is still taking shape. Direct Claude Code is strongest for debugging, learning an unfamiliar code path, trying disposable edits, and steering commands one decision at a time.
Scope it, approve the plan, and review the PR in GitHub. Run several Claude tasks at once, answer review comments with plain GitHub comments, and hand the next phase to another agent on the same branch.
Anthropic-managed browser, mobile, and background sessions run on Anthropic's VMs and need a Claude subscription account.
Claude implements on your Claude plan or API key. ProPR plans the task, opens the PR, and keeps the record.

Investigate in a live session as before. When the change has a shape, write it as a GitHub issue and add the AI label, or run propr issue implement; ProPR plans it, runs Claude Code in isolation, and opens the pull request.
A plain comment becomes the next commit; /review and /fix handle AI findings, and a Codex or Antigravity run can review the PR Claude opened. The cross-model review playbook shows the handoff.
