A VS Code extension that provides a graphical chat interface for Claude Code, replacing terminal-based interaction with a visual UI inside the editor. It adds features like checkpoint restoration, inline diff viewing, conversation history, and MCP/skills marketplace browsing.

Use cases

• chat with Claude Code inside VS Code without using the terminal
• restore code to previous checkpoints after AI edits
• view inline diffs of file changes made by Claude
• browse and install MCP servers and skills from a marketplace
• track token usage and cost of Claude Code sessions
• manage conversation history and sessions for Claude Code
• use Claude Code in Cursor or other VS Code-compatible editors

When to choose

• you use Claude Code but prefer a GUI over terminal commands
• you want checkpoint/undo support for AI-driven code changes
• you work in VS Code or Cursor and want integrated AI chat
• you need visual diff review of AI-generated edits

When to avoid

• you don't use Claude Code or an Anthropic API-based workflow
• you prefer terminal-based AI coding tools
• you use an editor incompatible with VS Code extensions
• you need a fully open permissive license (license is non-standard)
