I built this because it was useful for me when building evals/benchmarks, and I decided to put it up for free for others. The goal was quite simple, make it easy to use a lead claude code / codex session in a panel on the side, while allowing every cell to also be a terminal session running claude/codex, and make it possible to continue a session in an actual terminal window if I needed to.
