+### Claude Code Subscription
+
+As a core contributor, you are also eligible for a sponsored [Claude Code] Pro plan subscription. The process is the same as Cursor: purchase your [Claude Code] Pro subscription, and then submit the expense to OpenCollective for reimbursement. To minimize administrative overhead, we encourage you to submit expenses quarterly rather than monthly. This benefit has been pre-approved for all core contributors, so there's no need to request permission - simply follow the reimbursement process through OpenCollective.
