✦ What Is This

A shared terminal session where two people can chat with each other and invoke Claude together using @claude <prompt>.

Just type normally to talk to your partner. Prefix with @claude to send a prompt to Claude. Both of you see everything in real time.

⟩ hey, do you see the bug in auth.ts?          ← chat (just between you two)
⟩ @claude look at src/auth.ts and fix the bug  ← sent to Claude (both see the response)

That's the whole idea. You decide when to bring Claude in.
