1. Download — GitHub Releases (Windows: *-setup.exe or *-portable.zip)
2. SSH profiles — Sidebar → add host, port, user, key/password (credentials stay in app)
3. Connect — Double-click profile; login in left terminal (password / 2FA / sudo)
4. Claude Code — Install Claude Code CLI; confirm IDE bridge in Clide sidebar
5. Ask AI — e.g. "check disk usage"; Claude runs runShellCommand in your shell
