I'd be careful with the branding - it sounds like an official Claude product. Maybe go with "Composer for Claude"?

Yes, the name should be changed ASAP. You don't want to rename it after it becomes established, which you'll inevitably have to do.

Add a 5 hour timer so that us with MAX subs can know when to come back to our Opus work. I like it. thanks for the effort.

Can you help me understand how that works?

I thought you needed an API key to work with Claude Code

You’re going to be hearing from Anthropic’s legal department very, very soon if you use this name.

We'll see. Happy to change it up if need be. I'd rather beg for forgiveness than permission. <3

They give you Claude Code usage on all the paid plans now. A certain amount of usage is shared between Chat and Code.

It's going to be hilarious to watch Anthropic argue with a straight face that it's illegal (or at least tortious) to take someone else's IP and repurpose it

Really like this idea - my team was looking to build something like this ourselves. The only thing I would add to this repository would be the ability to add a global Claude.md file that would be common across the team (across different repos).

That's a good idea. Personally I don't use CLAUDE.md (everything goes in the prompt, thanks to context-composer, which I'll share another day) so I'm not motivated to have it but I'd be happy to collaborate on it and get that kind of feature merged in.

Not all paid plans, just Max. Pro doesn’t get access to Claude Code.
