To adapt Claude for your system:
1. Adjust the `electronBuilder` settings in `package.json` for your target OS.
2. Modify any M1-specific optimizations in `index.js` (spoiler: there aren't many).
3. Replace `Command+C` with the appropriate shortcut for your OS in `index.js`.
See? Claude's love is universal!
