A shell on the host, and in every container.
A root shell on the machine where the Docker daemon runs, such as your WSL distro, next to a shell inside any running container. Claude sits in the tab beside it if you want a second pair of eyes.
Fig. — The host terminal. The docker CLI works as usual.
What you can do
Root on the Docker host
A shell on the machine where the daemon runs, with the docker CLI working as usual.
Leaves nothing behind
The shell runs through a short-lived, privileged alpine container that disappears when you close it.
Inside any container
Open a shell in a running container from its Terminal tab.
As another user
Pick the user for a container's shell. The app remembers it per container.
Claude beside it
A Claude tab next to the host terminal that reads what the terminal shows.
Closes cleanly
Close the terminal and the shell in the container stops with it.
How it works
No SSH, no agent, no install on the host.
The host shell is a short-lived alpine container with the privileges to reach the host. It exists only while the shell is open, so there is nothing to set up and nothing to clean up.
