The top bar has three badges: gh, claude and jira.

Click an orange badge to open its setup card. Each command has a Copy button. When finished, click Re-check Status.

3.2 Claude Code — required

CodeCrab runs reviews through your local Claude Code, so it must be installed and signed in on this computer.

# Install Claude Codecurl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

# Install Claude Codeirm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Already use Node.js? You can install it with:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Run Claude and complete the login in your browser:

3.3 Jira — optional

Add Jira only if your team links tickets in PRs. It adds an Open KEY button and lets reviews use the ticket as the specification.
