  • Non-developers can't get started at all
With Claudel
  • Split panes in one window with drag-and-drop
  • Layout and sessions persist automatically
  • Skill marketplace with one-click install
  • Guided onboarding for everyone

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Claudel is a third-party desktop GUI client that wraps Claude Code CLI. It is not an official Anthropic product. Claudel automatically installs and configures Claude Code during first launch — providing the visual interface, multi-terminal management, and skill marketplace on top of it.

macOS with Apple Silicon (M1 or later). Claude Code is installed automatically on first launch. You need an active Anthropic API key or Claude Pro subscription.

Yes. Claudel is free and open source. Claude Code API usage is billed separately through Anthropic.

Skills are reusable prompt templates that extend Claude Code's capabilities. Examples include code review checklists, session handoff automation, error pattern learning, and context budget tracking. They're markdown files installed into your ~/.claude/skills/ directory.

Currently macOS only. Cross-platform support may come in future versions depending on demand.
