Laura
Laura is a TUI workspace that gives your agent an API over the TUI, so your agent can tile panes while you pair-program.
Your agent can open the file you're discussing, the plan you're following, the diff you just made, or tail the logs of your running service. Laura works with every coding agent CLI, and your agent learns the laura CLI from Laura's agent skills.
Laura lets you:
- Stay in the flow - view a file, a plan, a diff, or a log right in the TUI, without switching windows between the terminal, IDE, and browser.
- Compose the TUI - your agent tiles the workspace as you chat, using the
lauraCLI and skills. - Pick your coding agent CLI - Laura runs your agent in a plain shell, so Laura works with every agent CLI and model.
- Interact in every pane - comment on any file pane and submit the inline review into the chat.
- Edit alongside your agent (experimental) - edit a file in Neovim in an editor pane next to the chat, then flip to the file view to review your edits with your agent. Enable editor panes.
- Learn while staying focused - your agent shows and explains concepts live, step by step.
How it works
Laura runs your agent CLI in a shell and provides agent skills that you or your agent can invoke. Your agent learns the laura CLI from the skills. The laura CLI sends messages to the workspace over an NDJSON protocol, with one socket per tab. See the protocol reference to learn more.
Quickstart
1. Install Laura.
uv tool install laura-tui # prebuilt for Linux, macOS and Windows
cargo install laura-tui --locked # or build from source, with Rust (stable)
2. Install the skills so your agent knows how to use the laura CLI. In Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add thomaseleff/laura-tui
/plugin install laura@laura-tui
3. Start Laura and run the interactive demo:
laura -- claude "/laura:demo"
4. Pair-program. Chat as you normally would with your coding agent. Ask your agent to show you a file, a plan, or a diff using the /laura skill.
Laura reloads a file pane when its file changes. Laura renders markdown with terminal styling, shows other files with syntax colours, and marks the lines changed since git HEAD in the gutter.
See the tutorial for a first session, and navigating the TUI for the workspace keystrokes. For reference, see the CLI reference for every command and flag, the protocol reference for the message format, and the agent reference for how your agent uses the laura CLI.
