Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

Claude Code is currently spending lots of time and resources:

  • locating symbols in the code base using CLI tools like find or grep
  • performing basic refactoring like renaming symbols across the entire code base
  • reformatting code, frequently executing sed/grep just to understand the indentation pattern

Proposed Solution

Improve response time, accuracy and robustness and reduce resource usage by making relevant IDE tooling available to Code Claude, at least:

  • symbol search
  • language-specific refactorings
  • language-specific code formatting

After all, as a developer, you are expected to use basic tooling rather than perform these operations manually.…
