## Features
- **💬 Conversational coding** -- Stream responses from Claude in real time with full Markdown rendering, syntax-highlighted code blocks, and tool-call visualization.
- **📂 Session management** -- Create, rename, archive, and resume chat sessions. Conversations are persisted locally in SQLite so nothing is lost between restarts.
- **🎯 Project-aware context** -- Pick a working directory per session. The right panel shows a live file tree and file previews so you always know what Claude is looking at.
- **🔒 Permission controls** -- Approve, deny, or auto-allow tool use on a per-action basis. Choose between permission modes to match your comfort level.
- **🎭 Multiple interaction modes** -- Switch between *Code*, *Plan*, and *Ask* modes to control how Claude behaves in each session.
- **🤖 Model selector** -- Switch between Claude models (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) mid-conversation.
- **🔌 MCP server management** -- Add, configure, and remove Model Context Protocol servers directly from the Extensions page. Supports `stdio`, `sse`, and `http` transport types.
- **⚡ Custom skills** -- Define reusable prompt-based skills (global or per-project) that can be invoked as slash commands during chat.
- **⚙️ Settings editor** -- Visual and JSON editors for your `~/.claude/settings.json`, including permissions and environment variables.
- **📊 Token usage tracking** -- See input/output token counts and estimated cost after every assistant response.
- **🌗 Dark / Light theme** -- One-click theme toggle in the navigation rail.
- **⌨️ Slash commands** -- Built-in commands like `/help`, `/clear`, `/cost`, `/compact`, `/doctor`, `/review`, and more.
- **🖥️ Electron packaging** -- Ships as a native desktop app with a hidden title bar, bundled Next.js server, and automatic port allocation.

```
### CI/CD
The project uses GitHub Actions for automated builds. Pushing a `v*` tag triggers a full multi-platform build and automatically creates a GitHub Release with all artifacts:
```bash
git tag v0.8.1
git push origin v0.8.1
# CI builds Windows + macOS + Linux, then publishes the release
```
You can also manually trigger builds for individual platforms from the Actions tab.
### Notes
- The Electron main process (`electron/main.ts`) forks the Next.js standalone server and connects to it over `127.0.0.1` with a random free port.
