    • Monaco editor
    • xterm.js
    • Vite
    • MCP SDK

5. Configuration Files​

  • ✅ package.json - Main project dependencies
  • ✅ tsconfig.json - TypeScript configuration
  • ✅ vite.config.ts - Vite with WASM support
  • ✅ .env - Environment variables
  • ✅ .mcp.json - MCP server configuration

🚧 In Progress​

MCP Integration Testing​

  • Need to test MCP server with actual client
  • Verify model selection and chaining workflow

📋 Next Steps​

Phase 1: Basic UI (Estimated: 2-3 hours)​

  1. Create React app structure with Chakra UI

    • src/main.tsx - Entry point
    • src/app.tsx - Main app component
    • src/theme/chakra-theme.ts - Theme configuration

  2. Build basic layout

    • Split pane layout (react-resizable-panels)
    • File explorer placeholder
    • editor area placeholder
    • terminal placeholder
    • llm chat panel

Phase 2: Monaco editor Integration (1-2 hours)​

  1. Integrate Monaco editor

    • Multi-tab support
    • File type detection
    • Syntax highlighting
    • Basic keyboard shortcuts

  2. Connect to OPFS file system

    • Create/read/update/delete files
    • Directory tree navigation
    • Persist across sessions

Phase 3: terminal Integration (1 hour)​

  1. Add xterm.js terminal
    • Shell emulation
    • Command execution
    • File operations (ls, cat, mkdir)

Phase 4: llm Integration via MCP (2-3 hours)​

  1. Create MCP client in React

    • Connect to lmstudio MCP server
    • List and select models
    • Send chat/completion requests

  2. Build llm UI components

    • Model selector dropdown
    • Mode selector (Single, Parallel, Sequential, Consensus)
    • Chat interface
    • Message history

  3. Implement workflow modes:

    • Single: Use one llm at a time
    • Parallel: Side-by-side comparison
    • Sequential: LM Studio → Claude Code chaining
    • Consensus: Synthesize responses

Phase 5: Advanced Features (2-3 hours)​

  1. File system integration

    • Save conversations
    • Export as markdown
    • Import/export projects

  2. Claude Code integration

    • Connect to existing Claude Code via MCP
    • Tool usage support
    • Context sharing

🎯 Key Workflow​

Model Selection → Chaining​

1. User selects LM Studio model (e.g., qwen/qwq-32b)
2. Sends prompt to LM Studio via MCP
3. Gets response
4. [Optional] Pipe response to Claude Code
5. Claude Code processes with tools (Read, Write, Bash)
6. Final enhanced result displayed

Example Use Case​

User: "Analyze this Rust code for performance issues"

Sequential Mode:
1. LM Studio (qwen3-coder-30b) → Code analysis
2. Claude Code + tools →
   - Read related files
   - Check benchmarks
   - Write optimized version
3. Display both analyses side-by-side
