What it does
An unofficial Claude Code plugin draws each Claude answer as a typeset picture through Typst. Headings, tables, task lists, quotes and highlighted code appear in your terminal font, LaTeX math is set like in a paper and Claude can draw a chart or a diagram when a picture explains more than words. Only the drawing changes and the saved answer stays Markdown. The `curl -fsSL https://intelligentui.art/install.sh | bash` script installs Typst if needed and turns on auto-update; by hand use `brew install typst` and `/plugin install cc-intelligent-ui --marketplace razorback16/cc-intelligent-ui`. Claude Code 2.1.298 or newer is required, best in fullscreen mode. Pictures show in kitty 0.28 и новее, Ghostty, cmux and iTerm2 3.6 и новее after `/iui setup`.
Who it is for. Claude Code users who want readable tables, math and diagrams in terminal answers.
Good fit when
- Claude explains a slow request and draws a timing chart by stage.
- An answer needs tables and math that look like a paper.
- Over SSH from kitty or Ghostty you want pictures instead of raw Markdown.
- You need to know why pictures do not show: the `/iui details` command.
Not a fit when
- The terminal shows no pictures: tmux, screen, Terminal.app, Alacritty and VS Code get plain text.
- You need to copy an answer as text: a picture does not copy as typed Markdown.
- Claude Code is older than 2.1.298.
Example request
Explain why the API request is slow and draw a timing chart by stage with a table of fixes.Limitations
It works in terminals with a graphics protocol: kitty, Ghostty, cmux, iTerm2 after setup and Rio with `CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_TERMINAL_IMAGES=1` untested by the authors. Warp and WezTerm are not supported yet. The plugin was made by the community independently of Anthropic. The install script comes from the network, so read it via the docs link before running. Typst 0.15 is needed for rendering. The plugin changes only rendering: if you do not want pictures, turn it off in `/plugin`. Diagrams and math are typeset by Typst, so complex markup may differ from what you expect. Terminals without graphics support keep plain text and nothing breaks.
How to disable. Remove the plugin in `/plugin` and, if wanted, Typst with `brew uninstall typst`.
FAQ
Which terminals are supported?
Kitty 0.28 и новее, Ghostty and cmux, iTerm2 3.6 и новее after `/iui setup`. Over ssh it works from kitty or Ghostty. In tmux, screen and VS Code plain text remains.
What is stored in history?
The saved answer stays Markdown and the plugin changes only the drawing.
How do I find out why pictures do not show?
Run `/iui details`: it shows the reason, for example an unsupported terminal.
Is Typst needed separately?
The install script installs it. By hand run `brew install typst`, version 0.15 is needed.
How do I update?
Rerun the install script or turn on auto-update in `/plugin`.
