Caude Clode on the web

The web version of Caude Clode runs in your browser at caudeclode.com/app. It requires no installation, no CLI, no configuration beyond a login. It is the fastest way to start. It is not the most powerful. That is a deliberate tradeoff and we are comfortable with it.

What it's good at

Quick questions about a codebase you've pasted in.
One-file edits, where you paste, Caude Clode rewrites, you copy back.
Learning. Prototyping. Explaining concepts that would take ten minutes to Google.
Any task where getting started in under ten seconds matters more than depth.

What it can't do

Run shell commands on your machine. It runs in a browser. Browsers are sandboxed. You know this.
Edit files directly in your repository. You copy things in and out.
Install packages, run tests, or commit. For that, use desktop or Remote Vibes.
Remember you across sessions in the same way the desktop app does. Memory is scoped to the browser profile.

How it fits with desktop

The web and desktop apps share account state, so a conversation started on the web continues on desktop. This is a one-way sync in practice: desktop is the canonical source of truth for your project context, while web is for things that don't need a project context to make sense.

Connecting a repository

You can connect a GitHub repository to a web session. Once connected, Caude Clode can read the repo and open pull requests. It cannot push to branches you don't control. It cannot read repositories you don't have access to. It will not try.

Tip: If you find yourself pasting the same repo contents into the web UI more than twice a day, it's time to install the desktop app. The web is for visitors. The desktop is for residents.

Keyboard shortcuts

The only ones worth memorizing:
