Overview
In this course, you'll set up Sonar Vortex for Claude Code using the SonarQube CLI, then connect it to SonarQube Cloud. This allows you to pull in your project's architecture and coding guidelines before generating code and verify that your code passes SonarQube analysis before you commit it.
Learning objectives
After completing this course, you’ll be able to:
- Explain the role Sonar Vortex plays in the Agent Centric Development Cycle (AC/DC).
- Distinguish between the context augmentation and algorithmic analysis capabilities of Vortex.
- Install and authenticate the SonarQube CLI.
- Configure Vortex for Claude Code using the SonarQube CLI.
- Confirm Vortex is working in a Claude Code session.
