Adds a "Be concise" subsection with hard rules (40-word soft cap,
no multi-paragraph bullets, no sub-headers, no probe numbers, no
nested file lists) and a before/after example so the rule is
unambiguous. Calibration tells the author to scan five existing
bullets and match their length.
Existing guidance ("short imperative phrases") was too easy to read
past — concrete commits this session shipped 5-paragraph bullets
crammed with rationale that belonged in the commit body. The new
text closes that loophole.

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.
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 overSCM_RIGHTS. Every pane (shell, tmux, claude, LSP, debug adapter) goes through it.- 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/.
