Bundle the official Claude Code CLI devcontainer Feature - #25
Merged
Conversation
Anthropic publishes ghcr.io/anthropics/devcontainer-features/claude-code:1.0, so claude can be installed the same low-effort way copilot-cli already is, across all three agentbox surfaces via the shared features manifest. Skip the Feature's own install when claude is already on PATH (Claude Code cloud environments ship it pre-installed, and the Feature's install.sh has no such check itself — it would otherwise npm-reinstall it every run).
claude-code installs via nvm-managed npm's global bin dir, same as node/npm/npx/corepack — without this it was only reachable from within install-features.sh's own shell (where the node Feature's containerEnv eval had already put nvm's bin dir on PATH), not from any later shell.

Summary
ghcr.io/anthropics/devcontainer-features/claude-code:1.0(the official Anthropic-published Feature) todevcontainer.features.json, soclaudeis now bundled the same low-effort waycopilot-clialready is, across all three agentbox surfaces (Claude Code cloud, Copilot cloud sandbox, Codespaces/pre-built image) via the single shared manifest.install-features.sh: skips the Feature's own install whenclaudeis already on PATH — Claude Code cloud environments ship it pre-installed, and the Feature'sinstall.shhas no such check itself (it would otherwisenpm install -git on every setup-script run for no reason).install-features.sh: symlinksclaudeinto/usr/local/binalongside the existingnode/npm/npx/corepacksymlinks —claude-codeinstalls into the same nvm-managed npm global bin dir, which is only on PATH within the script's own shell (via the node Feature'scontainerEnveval), not in any later non-login shell (GitHub Actions step, Claude Code's Bash tool,docker run ... bash -c). Without this,claudewould be unreachable everywhere except during the setup script's own run — the same class of bug already fixed for node/npm.claudeto the final "Tool check" report.Test plan
