Close T-302 with the Frame0 wireframes for the schema-driven settings UI, and open the implementation epic T-444 under the Tier-6 epic T-8. Wireframes (docs/design/wireframes/settings/, JSON source + PNG): - settings-screen — modal shell + Editor category (all field-type patterns, scope tags, carded sections) - settings-search — cross-category search-active state - settings-claude — mirrors the sidebar Claude Config panel (settings controls + carded config lists) - settings-appearance — theme-picker swatch grid (live bundled-theme previews) Design answers: full-screen MODAL overlay; rail + cross-category search IA; per-field scope-tag model (folder/globe/circle-dashed); carded sections; the schema-driven renderer makes per-category tabs data, not new design. Also documents the sectioned-card preference in the ui-design skill (references/surface.md → "Settings & grouped lists — sectioned cards"). Epic T-444 children: infra (modal shell T-445, rail T-447, field renderer T-448, scope-tag control T-449, search T-450) + per-category (Editor=T-290 reparented, Keymap T-451, Appearance/theme-picker T-452, Activity T-453, Terminal T-455, Extensions T-456, Claude T-457). Also files: T-441/T-442 (UI bugs), T-446 (slash-typeahead intermittent), T-454 (Claude remote-control not plumbed). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
clide
An IDE for Claude Code CLI. 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 (D-41).
lib/— all Dart code. Core subsystems (lib/src/), kernel services (lib/kernel/), UI widgets (lib/widgets/), built-in extensions (lib/builtin/), the extension framework (lib/extension/).- PTY —
lib/src/pty/spawns child processes via Dart FFIposix_openpt()+posix_spawn()directly; no external helper binary. native/— vendored native libraries (libtree-sitter.sowith wasmtime embedded). Linux only today.- 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 (D-6).
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) and pql
on the host. pql is a hard dependency — the pre-push gate runs pql decisions validate and the governance + ticket workflow is built on it (see its repo for
install). One-time setup:
make hooks && flutter pub get
pql init # once, in the repo root — wires up the pql skill + perms
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-a11y # accessibility contract tests
make test-integration # real app boot integration tests
make build-linux # flutter build linux
make build-macos # flutter build macos
make push-check # pre-push gate: decisions + core + fast + a11y + coverage + changelog
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/.
