Adopt settled-reach's Q&D record convention. Confirmed decisions live under decisions/<domain>.md as D-NNN; open questions under questions-<domain>.md as Q-NNN; rejected alternatives in rejected.md as R-NNN. Markdown is source of truth; .pql/pql.db (added later) is a query index. Backlog captured from the Tier-0 Flutter planning sessions: bare WidgetsApp, theme pipeline, kernel admission rule, feature-first layout, a11y + i18n as Tier-0 contracts, test pyramid, kanban over Scrum, pql-owns-planning, Python stopgap sunset clause. ADR migration (D-001, D-003-D-006 confirmed, R-002 rejected) is staged for the next commit so the diff stays readable. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
clide
A Flutter desktop IDE for Claude Code. Markdown-first content, pql-powered queries, canvas and graph surfaces, a Go sidecar handling PTYs / subprocesses / git / pql. Claude drives the UI through a clide CLI.
Currently pre-v2.0, scaffolding. The north-star design lives in docs/initial-plan.md; architectural decisions are captured in docs/ADRs/. The Python Textual v1.2.0 implementation is archived under legacy/ for reference.
Three surfaces, one tool
app/— Flutter desktop application (Linux / macOS; Windows is a stretch).sidecar/— Go sidecar/CLI, single binary with two modes:clide <subcommand>(one-shot for Claude) andclide --daemon(long-running sidecar for the app). Owns PTYs, subprocesses, file watchers, git, pql invocations.pql— external supporter tool. clide wraps it for every query surface; never re-implements it.
Why the rebuild?
The Python Textual implementation (legacy/) proved the pane model but capped at terminal-only rendering. A short-lived experiment (claudian, April 2026) explored an Obsidian-plugin approach and was abandoned because Obsidian is Electron, and the user's history with terminal-in-Electron ruled that host out.
Flutter desktop resolves both constraints: native Skia rendering avoids Electron's failure modes, xterm.dart gives us a solid terminal surface, and the pane model can be rebuilt natively. The Obsidian ideas worth keeping (canvas, graph) fold in; everything else (vault concept, inline query tables, plugin ecosystem inheritance) doesn't.
Status
No build yet beyond the repo scaffold. Tier 0 acceptance: sidecar daemon runs, Flutter app connects, empty IDE shell appears with placeholders.
