Claudette adds a question panel to Sublime Text that sends your prompt—along with any selected code—to the Claude API and streams the response into a dedicated chat view. You can run multiple independent chats in the same window, cancel a request mid-flight, and see token usage and cost after every reply.Documentation Index

Opening the question panel
Run Claudette: Ask Question from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) or via Tools > Claudette > Ask Question. An input bar labelled “Ask Claude:” appears at the bottom of the window.
- Press Enter to submit your question.
- Press Shift+Enter to insert a line break inside the input.
Using selected text as context
Any text you have selected in the active editor when you open the question panel is automatically included in the request. The selection appears as a Selected Code block beneath your question in the chat view. This is useful when you want to ask Claude about a specific function, a snippet you are debugging, or a block of configuration you want explained. Select the relevant lines first, then open the question panel and type your question.Multiple chat windows
Each chat view maintains its own independent conversation history and context files. To start a fresh conversation without affecting the current one, run Claudette: Ask Question In New Chat View from the command palette or the Tools menu. A new tab opens and becomes the active chat; previous chats remain open in the background. Switching between chat tabs switches the active conversation. The next question you ask is sent to whichever chat is currently marked as the current chat.Stopping a request
To cancel an in-flight request, run Claudette: Stop Request from the command palette. The streaming response stops immediately and the chat view returns to its normal state. The partial response already rendered in the view is preserved.Cost display
After each response, Claudette shows token counts and an estimated cost in the status bar and chat view. The display includes input tokens, output tokens, the cost for the current response, and a running session total. To turn off cost display, setshow_cost to false in your settings:
true. Open your settings via Preferences > Package Settings > Claudette > Settings.
