Gitea remote kept as secondary (`gitea`). Updated repository URLs in pubspec.yaml, licenses.yaml, and initial-plan.md. README rewritten to reflect the current single-process Flutter architecture. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

|
|
A Flutter desktop IDE for Claude Code. Native rendering, terminal-first interaction, pql-powered queries, canvas and graph surfaces. Linux and macOS.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
Single Flutter package at the repo root. The app hosts everything in-process: IPC server, subsystem handlers (pane, files, editor, git, pql), and the extension framework. tmux owns Claude session persistence.
|
|
|
|
- **`lib/`** — all Dart code. Kernel services (theme, i18n, settings, panels, commands, focus), UI widgets, built-in extensions, and the extension contract.
|
|
- **`ptyc/`** — small C helper. Spawns a PTY + child and hands the master fd back over `SCM_RIGHTS`. Every pane (shell, tmux, claude, LSP, debug adapter) goes through it.
|
|
- **[pql](https://github.com/postmeridiem/pql)** — external supporter tool. Clide wraps it for every query surface; never re-implements it.
|
|
|
|
Claude drives the UI through a `clide` CLI surface (Bash, not MCP). Every CLI subcommand has a UI affordance and every UI action has a CLI equivalent.
|
|
|
|
## Built-in extensions
|
|
|
|
canvas, claude, claude_control, decisions, diff, editor, extensions_ui, files, git, graph, grammars_core, ipc_status, keybindings_ui, markdown, pql, problems, settings_ui, terminal, theme_picker, tickets, todos, welcome.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
Requires Flutter (stable channel) on the host. One-time setup:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make hooks && flutter pub get
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make run # launch the desktop app
|
|
make test # fast suite: analyze + format + unit + widget + golden
|
|
make test-core # core subsystem tests (IPC, PTY, git, pane registry)
|
|
make test-integration # real app boot integration tests
|
|
make build-linux # flutter build linux
|
|
make build-macos # flutter build macos
|
|
make ptyc-build # build the ptyc PTY-spawn helper
|
|
make push-check # pre-push gate: decisions + core + fast tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
Pre-v2.0 (`2.0.0-dev`). Interaction model and panel system landed. The Python Textual v1.2.0 predecessor is archived under [`legacy/`](legacy/).
