claude-ide-tools

claude-ide-tools is a desktop utility that bundles a set of productivity tools designed to enhance your coding experience within Claude Code environments and JetBrains IDEs. The toolkit focuses on file management tasks such as renaming and moving files, as well as code exploration features like finding usages across your project. Since this is a GUI application rather than a background server, you interact with it directly from your operating system to perform these actions within your existing codebase and IDE workflow. Use the rename and move features to quickly reorganize your project structure, and leverage the Find Usages capability to trace how a symbol is used across files, making refactoring safer and faster. The integration with JetBrains IDEs ensures a smooth workflow as you manage files and references from the comfort of your development environment.

Prerequisites:

• A computer running Windows, macOS, or Linux with a supported JetBrains IDE installed.
• Basic familiarity with downloading and running executable or archive installers.

Step-by-step installation:

1. Open your web browser and navigate to the claude-ide-tools Releases page.
2. Download the latest release package appropriate for your operating system (e.g., .exe for Windows or .zip for macOS/Linux).
3. Locate the downloaded file in your downloads folder and run the installer or extract the archive as prompted.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
5. Launch claude-ide-tools from your system applications menu or start menu. The tool should be ready to use within your IDE workflow.

Tips and considerations:

• Ensure your JetBrains IDE is installed and up to date for best compatibility.
• If you encounter installation issues, temporarily disable antivirus software to rule out false positives, then re-enable it after installation.
• The toolset is designed to operate within your project workspace; point it at your repository to maximize usefulness.
• If you’re using version-controlled projects, prefer performing batch rename or move operations in a way that preserves repository integrity (e.g., via your IDE’s integrated version control features).
• Check for updates on the Releases page to benefit from new features and fixes.
