Ports the patterns that crystallized during the short-lived claudian plugin project (discarded in favour of this Flutter rebuild): - ADRs 0001-0004 capture decisions that survive the host change — CLI-first over MCP, Go for the sidecar, pql as a supporter tool that becomes a clide-managed subsystem when present, and the ignore-file strategy that wires all file-enumerating surfaces through one knob in .pql/config.yaml. - .claude/settings.json and the git-commit and skill-create skills come over with naming updated for clide. The git-commit skill's "no Conventional Commits" convention supersedes the Python-era clide style under legacy/; the Keep-a-Changelog discipline and the project.yaml-version-and-changelog-bumped-together rule apply going forward. - CHANGELOG.md starts fresh at the repo root to track the Flutter rebuild. The Python changelog is preserved under legacy/. .gitignore narrows from `.claude/` to just `.claude/settings.local.json` so project-level config and skills travel with the repo.

# ADR 0001 — CLI-first, not MCP
|
|
|
|
**Status:** accepted
|
|
**Date:** 2026-04-20 (ported from the claudian lineage)
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
Clide exposes capabilities to Claude Code (panes, terminals, git,
|
|
pql queries, canvas, graph). The two mainstream options for that
|
|
interface are:
|
|
|
|
1. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server the agent connects to.
|
|
2. A plain Bash CLI the agent calls from its shell, matching the
|
|
contract `pql` already follows.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
Claude talks to Clide exclusively via Bash (`clide ...`). No MCP
|
|
server. No protocol layer in Claude's face. The CLI uses the same
|
|
exit-code + stderr-JSON contract as pql.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
- Same mental model as pql for the agent — one tool-use pattern
|
|
covers both.
|
|
- No MCP runtime to host, authenticate, or keep in sync with client
|
|
versions.
|
|
- User/Claude parity is easier to enforce: every CLI subcommand must
|
|
have a UI affordance in the Flutter app and vice versa.
|
|
- Claude Code's `Bash(clide *)` allow rule is the only configuration
|
|
Clide needs on the agent side.
|
|
- If an MCP-only integration becomes compelling later (e.g. a
|
|
multi-agent scenario), nothing here precludes adding one that
|
|
shells out to the same CLI.
