Create a Claude workspace

Reuse the workspace flow#

A "Claude workspace" is just a workspace. Everything in Create a workspace applies - the same dashboard button, the same template gallery, the same TTL and members. The only difference is whether the Claude stack is attached.

You've got two ways to end up with Claude on a machine. Pick whichever fits the situation:

Path A: pick a Claude template#

The catalog ships templates that already bundle the Claude stack on top of common base recipes: claude_python_devenv, claude_node_devenv,claude_go_devenv, and friends. Pick one in the New workspace flow and Claude is attached automatically.

Path B: attach the Claude stack#

Already have a workspace? Want Claude on a machine that isn't covered by a Claude template? Attach the Claude stack the same way you'd attach any other stack recipe.

1. Open the machine
   From the workspace, click the machine card to open its detail page.
2. Open the Stacks tab
   The Stacks tab lists every stack currently attached, plus a + Add stack button. (Same flow as any other stack - see Machines and recipes - Add a stack.)
3. Pick the Claude stack recipe
   Search the catalog for claude. The stack installs the Claude Code CLI on the machine and surfaces a sign-in panel.
4. Apply
   The stack runs in the foreground. After a few seconds, the Claude panel appears on the machine.

Next: sign in#

Whichever path you took, the next step is the same: sign in to Claude with your Anthropic account so the CLI on the machine can actually talk to it. See Sign in with Claude.
