SenClaw Code (IDE)

A VSCode-style code editor packaged as a SenClaw Space App. Open any local folder, edit real files in a Monaco editor, and pair with SenClaw's LLM in an integrated chat panel — pin code selections by line as context, ask questions grounded in your open files, and apply AI-suggested edits straight back to disk.

Features

• File explorer — lazy tree, respects .gitignore + hard-ignores (.git, node_modules, target, dist); git status badges (M/A/U).
• Monaco editor — the real VSCode editor, bundled offline: tabs, dirty indicators, minimap, syntax highlighting for 30+ languages. Cmd/Ctrl+S saves.
• Line pinning — select code, press Cmd/Ctrl+L to pin {file, lines, code} as chips above the chat input; pins are woven into the LLM prompt. Add the whole open file with the ＋ Chat button or Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+L.
• Integrated terminal — a real login shell (PTY) rooted at the workspace, streamed over a WebSocket to xterm.js. Toggle with the ⌘ Terminal button or `Ctrl+ ``; drag its top edge to resize.
• AI chat — grounded in pinned selections + the open file, powered by SenClaw's active model via the Space-App llm.request bridge. Cited answers. Right-click a selection for 📌 pin / 💬 ask AI / ➕ add file menu actions.
• Model + run-mode picker — a dropdown in the chat lists the daemon's configured LLMs (including local local-mlx models) and switches the active one; a Chat / Plan / Agent / DAG toggle shapes how the AI responds.
• DeepWiki tab (📖) — DeepWiki (tree-sitter code index, call graph, source-grounded wiki + Q&A) is vendored in-process: its Axum router is nested at /api/deepwiki, its UI served at /deepwiki and embedded as a tab. Opening a folder auto-indexes it. (The standalone apps/deepwiki is untouched.)
• Apply edits — assistant code blocks get an Apply button; a // file: path header on the first line targets a specific file (else the active tab). Writes go straight to disk.
• Workspace search — case-insensitive text search across the workspace; click a hit to jump to that line.
• Live sync — a filesystem watcher pushes external changes over SSE so the explorer/git state stay current.
• MCP server (code-ide-mcp) — lets the SenClaw agent drive the editor: open a folder, read/write/create/rename/delete files, and search.

Develop

# backend (serves API on :4340)
cargo run -p code-ide

# frontend (Vite dev server, proxies /api → :4340)
cd apps/code-ide/web && npm install && npm run dev

The backend calls the running SenClaw daemon for LLM completions (SENCLAW_BASE_URL, default http://127.0.0.1:18788). File editing works without a daemon; only the AI chat needs one.
