What it does

Right-click any folder → CLAUDE QUAD → a maximized Windows Terminal with four colour-coded panes, each running claude in that folder.

┌─────────────┬─────────────┐
│   GENERAL   │     UI      │
│    blue     │    pink     │
├─────────────┼─────────────┤
│   BACKEND   │  RESEARCH   │
│    green    │   purple    │
└─────────────┴─────────────┘

Colours map to roles — glance at a pane and you know what it's for. Pair with role-specific CLAUDE.md files, or just use them as four parallel workspaces on the same repo.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11
• Windows Terminal
• Claude Code on PATH

Install

git clone https://github.com/LukeRenton/claude-quad.git
cd claude-quad
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install.ps1

Then right-click any folder → CLAUDE QUAD.

On Windows 11, the entry is under Show more options (or hit Shift+F10).

The installer backs up settings.json, adds four hidden WT profiles + schemes, and registers an HKCU context-menu entry (no admin). Restart Windows Terminal if it was already open.

Uninstall

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\uninstall.ps1

Restores everything. The settings.json.claude-quad.bak backup is left in place.

Customising

What	Where
Layout, split sizes, per-pane command	claude-quad.ps1
Pane colours	schemes.json
Role names	profiles.json + claude-quad.ps1

Re-run install.ps1 after edits — it's idempotent.

Caveats

• The installer strips // comments from settings.json (the backup preserves them).
• HKCU-only — the menu entry is per-user.
• Run this installer last if other tools also patch WT settings.
