Problem Statement

The current JetBrains plugin for Claude Code is a great start (especially the diff viewer), but it still operates through an underlying terminal session rather than as a true IDE-native agent.

Proposed Solution

Request: a dedicated Claude Code tool window in Android Studio — its own panel with persistent chat/session state, and native controls for reviewing and approving agent actions — rather than launching into a terminal-backed process. This would bring Claude Code to parity with how other AI assistants (e.g. Gemini Code Assist, Copilot Chat) integrate as first-class panels in JetBrains IDEs.

Additional Context

Switched from Gemini to Claude Code and found the Android Studio integration noticeably behind — the terminal-wrapper approach feels like a step back from a dedicated panel experience.
