Laura

LOW-rah — a TUI workspace your agent builds with you while you pair-program.

Laura hosts your agent's shell in a PTY, and you or the agent open files into live panels — splitting the tab into a composable tree of panes. Mark a file up in place and your review is injected straight back into the agent's chat. The show → react → revise loop never leaves the terminal.

Laura demo

Quickstart

1. Install Laura. Requires Rust (stable); installs a laura binary:

cargo install --git https://github.com/thomaseleff/laura-tui laura --locked

2. Install the skill so your agent knows how to drive laura. In Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add thomaseleff/laura-tui
/plugin install laura@laura-tui

3. Start Laura — it hosts your default shell in a tab:

laura -- claude "/laura:demo"

4. Chat with your agent in that shell. With the skill installed, the agent drives the laura CLI itself — splitting panes and opening files into them while your shell stays live alongside. You comment on a line in place and submit; your review is injected straight back into the agent's chat and it revises.

New to it? The tutorial walks through one full loop, including the review keys.
