Coding with Coding Agents & Nimbalyst

How to code with Claude Code and Codex inside Nimbalyst, a visual interface for coding agents with your files, diffs, and sessions side by side.

Nimbalyst puts a visual interface on coding agents like Claude Code and Codex, so you can run agent sessions, read their edits as diffs, and browse your files in one desktop workspace. It runs on top of Claude Code and Codex rather than replacing them. See the Claude Code GUI page and the Codex GUI page for what the desktop workspace adds on top.

A coding agent session in Nimbalyst, with the session list on the left, red/green edit cards in the transcript, and the Files panel on the right — An agent session in Nimbalyst: your prompt, the agent's edits as red/green cards, and the files it touched, all in one view.

Nimbalyst's Two Modes

Chat Mode is an AI sidebar for quick questions and targeted edits. Good for:

Explaining code
Small edits to the current document
Quick lookups

Agent Mode is full-screen autonomous coding. Good for:

Multi-file refactors
Implementing features from a plan
Running tests and fixing failures iteratively
Running multiple sessions in parallel

Code Editor with Diff Visualization

A Python file open in the Nimbalyst code editor with syntax highlighting, file tabs, and a minimap — The code editor with syntax highlighting, file tabs, and a minimap for navigating longer files.

When the AI edits code or a document, changes appear inline:

Green background: added content
Red background: removed content, shown with strikethrough

Changes remain visible until you accept or reject them:

Accept All keeps all changes
Reject All reverts to the original content

Inline Edit Cards in the Transcript

Both Claude Code's Edit tool and Codex's file_change tool render as red/green edit cards directly in the session transcript, so you can see exactly what the agent did to each file as the turn unfolds.

Edit cards work for:

New files, rendered as a single-color "added" card
Existing files, with red lines for removals and green for additions
Gitignored or never-snapshotted files
Renamed and deleted files
