Why LazyClaude?

Managing Claude Code customizations means navigating multiple configuration directories (~/.claude/, ./.claude/, ~/.claude/plugins/) and understanding what’s defined at each level. LazyClaude gives you a visual, keyboard-driven interface that shows everything in one place.

Key Benefits:

• Visual Exploration: See all customizations organized by type (slash commands, subagents, skills, memory files, MCPs, hooks)
• Multi-Level Management: Understand and manage configurations across user, project, and plugin levels
• Keyboard-Driven Workflow: Navigate with vim-style keys (j/k), no mouse required
• Copy/Move Between Levels: Easily share personal configs with your team or customize plugin content
• Integrated Marketplace: Discover and install plugins without leaving the terminal (new in 0.12.0!)

Getting Started

Launch with uvx lazyclaude and you’ll see a multi-panel interface inspired by lazygit:

Interface Overview:

• Left Sidebar: Panels for each customization type ([1] Slash Commands, [2] Subagents, [3] Skills, [4] Memory, [5] MCPs, [6] Hooks)
• Right Pane: Content and metadata view for the selected item
• Status Bar: Shows current path and active filter
• Footer: Keyboard shortcuts reference

Quick Navigation:

• 1-6 or Tab - Switch between panels
• j/k or arrow keys - Navigate items
• [ / ] - Toggle between content and metadata views
• ? - Show help, q - Quit

Core Workflows

Filtering and Viewing Configurations

LazyClaude helps you understand where customizations are defined. Use filters to narrow your view:

• a - Show All levels
• u - Show only User level (~/.claude/)
• p - Show only Project level (./.claude/)
• P - Show only Plugin level (~/.claude/plugins/)
• D - Toggle visibility of disabled plugins

This makes it easy to:

• See what’s personal vs. shared with your team
• Understand what comes from installed plugins
• Find where a specific customization is defined

Editing and Managing Configurations

• e - Open in your $EDITOR
• c - Copy to another level (e.g., copy plugin config to user level to customize)
• m - Move to another level
• C - Copy file path to clipboard

Common Patterns:

Customize a Plugin:

[P]lugin → navigate → [c]opy → User → [e]dit

Share with Team:

[u]ser → navigate → [c]opy → Project → git commit

What’s New in 0.12.0: Marketplace Browser

Version 0.12.0 adds integrated marketplace support. Press M to open the marketplace browser:

Browse and Install Plugins

Navigate available plugins with vim-style keys (j/k), expand marketplace trees with l, and install plugins with i.

Marketplace Actions:

• i - Install plugin (or enable if disabled)
• d - Uninstall plugin
• e - Open plugin folder in file manager
• / - Search within marketplace

Preview Before Installing

Press p on any plugin to enter preview mode. The marketplace closes and the main interface shows you all the plugin’s contents (slash commands, skills, etc.) in read-only mode. Explore what you’re getting before you install it.

Preview Mode Benefits:

• View all customizations included in a plugin
• Read content and metadata without installing
• Understand plugin structure and capabilities
• Navigate as if the plugin were installed (read-only)

Press Esc to exit preview mode and return to the normal view.

Conclusion

LazyClaude 0.12.0 makes managing Claude Code customizations visual, keyboard-driven, and efficient. The new marketplace browser brings plugin discovery and installation directly into the terminal, completing the workflow. Whether you’re exploring your existing setup, customizing plugins, or sharing configurations with your team, LazyClaude provides the tools you need without leaving the command line.
