Description

Claude Code Chrome extension — runs the real Claude Code CLI locally, with the chat in your browser's side panel. Claude gets browser tools over MCP (DOM, console, network, screenshot, click, type) plus an on-page design toolkit. Local only, no telemetry.

Installation

This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no exact command to give. Open the source below and copy the folder into ~/.claude/skills/, or the file into ~/.claude/agents/.

**Claude Code in your browser's side panel — an AI coding agent that can see, measure, and fix the page you're building.**

A Chrome extension (Manifest V3) with two halves that feed each other:

  • A real Claude Code chat in the side panel — it drives the actual claude CLI on your machine (your account, your folder, your permissions), wired into the browser so Claude can read the DOM, take screenshots, watch the console/network, and click and type into the live tab.
  • A design overlay toolkit on the page: rulers, guides, grids, responsive preview, eyedropper, DevTools-style inspection, and an annotator whose screenshots drop straight into the chat.

The loop: notice something off → measure or circle it on the page → send it to Claude with the element and screenshot attached → Claude inspects the live tab, edits the code in your project folder, and you watch the page update.

Everything runs locally. The extension talks to a tiny native host that spawns `claude`. No servers of ours, no telemetry — the only network traffic is Claude itself.

Setup

1. The extension

Install it from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kgbaeoalmkabpoglpjcdmppdmcipfdeh), or load this folder yourself:

  1. Open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode.
  2. Load unpacked → select this folder.
  3. Pin it. Click the icon to toggle the toolbar; open the side panel for the chat. Set a toolbar shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts if you want one.

Content scripts can't run on `chrome://` pages, the New Tab page, or the Chrome Web Store.

2. The Claude Code host (one-time)

The chat talks to the CLI through a small local native-messaging host (Node, zero deps). Install once — macOS, Linux, Windows:

npx @lizard-build/lizard-studio-host install

(`npx … uninstall` removes it. Hacking on t
