It's interesting how Anthropic haven't shipped their own IDE for more vertical integration. All it would take is implementing their own forked version of VSCode (like Cursor did) and making Claude the default choice. Obviously I'm simplifying here, but they definitely have the capability to do it.

Is that something anyone wants? It seems like being able to plug into other editors works well. What are the experiences people are trying to get but currently can't build because ACP sucks or whatever?

I’m very dumb. How is this different than starting Claude Code in a tmux and then connecting to that?

The extra stuff is that you can automate interactions with Claude Code sessions using a CLI (which just tmux send-keys under the hood), an HTTP server, and ACP server (so you can embed claude code in other IDEs), and typescript library. So it's meant to make CC more embeddable in your workflows.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I would simply ask the claude code to use the hooks and custom commands and agent teams for me.

In order to ask it to use them, you should be first aware of them. Non-power users aren't.

I would ask the claude code what I should be aware of if I was a power user.

Claude Code Desktop is as close as I can see them getting as it seems the big bet is that the IDE is on its way out as models improve.

It looks like it shouldn’t be an issue… it is just a wrapper around CLI calls to the official Claude code. It would be indistinguishable from the Anthropic side, and it isn’t even doing anything hacky or impersonating the official client.

This is my interpretation as well, Anthropic wants to be in full control of the connection between the client and their servers, and that's compatible with what I'm trying to do.

I love how aligned with traditional hacker culture this. Fantastic job, 10/10!

That's cool but by only supporting Claude Code you are contributing to the Anthropic lock-in problem. This needs to support at least Gemini CLI, Codex and OpenCode as well, preferably by being generic as much as possible.

https://github.com/ehrlich-b/wingthing - Here's my version of this idea which is agent agnostic. Not exactly the same idea, "sandbox'ed persistent agent", in my case available over the web with xterm.js (though you can also just run locally).

Looks cool! What's a roost? Is that just a name for the server to go with the whole egg analogy some technology that I haven't heard of before?

This looks very cool! My concern is just that it's a lot of things bundled in one and I kind of have to trust you for all of them. I would prefer something that puts together a stack of better known components, like a docker compose of agent-sandbox and tailscale or something equivalent, etc ... ideally with each of those swappable.
