Use cases

Use cases for Claude Code and AI coding agents

Use Canopy when each branch needs its own agent session, terminal tabs, browser tab, and local diff review.

Common Canopy workflows

Canopy is built for developers who run AI coding agents across several git branches. These pages show how teams use the worktree sidebar, Inspector, browser tab, and diff panel.

  • Run Claude Code from a desktop workspace instead of only a terminal.
  • Keep one agent session, terminal set, and browser tab attached to each git worktree.
  • Track cost, tokens, context usage, and local diffs while sessions are still running.

Broader AI coding agent support

Claude Code is the primary named workflow, but Canopy can also launch Gemini CLI, Codex, OpenCode, LazyGit, and custom commands when those tools are installed locally. Feature depth depends on what each tool exposes.
