What happened
Anthropic released the Claude Security Plugin for Claude Code in public beta. The tool acts as a multi-agent vulnerability scanner. It operates directly inside the terminal to scan code for security flaws.
The context
Developers usually run separate security software to check their code before shipping. Anthropic is embedding automated security checks straight into its command-line coding environment. This helps coders find security flaws earlier in their setup.
What this means for you
