Requirements​

  • VS Code 1.105.0 or later
  • Claude Code CLI installed and configured

If you want to develop or contribute:

  2. Click + Agent to spawn a new Claude Code terminal and its character
    • Right-click for the option to launch with --dangerously-skip-permissions (bypasses all tool approval prompts)
  3. Start coding with Claude — watch the character react in real time
  4. Click a character to select it, then click a seat to reassign it
  5. Click Layout to open the office editor and customize your space
