Drop a screenshot on the chat panel — the agent sees it as a multimodal reference.
⌘V or Ctrl-V a screenshot to attach without saving it first.
Every edit opens a side-by-side diff. Review before accepting.
Drop a CLAUDE.md in your project; team conventions get applied automatically.
Conversation history saves locally. Reopen the folder; the chat resumes.
Screenshots, mockups, diagrams — attach an image and the agent sees what you see.
