## The Problem
Claude Code is powerful but configuration is painful:
- Hand-editing JSON for permissions rules? Error-prone.
- Managing MCP servers across projects? Copy-paste hell.
- Finding that one subagent you created? Good luck grep-ing through `.claude/`.
- You want to know any metrics about your Claude Code usage? You need to download yet another tool.
## The Solution
Claude Owl gives you a visual interface for everything Claude Code configuration:
**No more terminal commands. No more JSON typos. Just point, click, done.**
## What You Can Do
### Core Features
- **Settings Editor** - User and project-level settings with search and validation
- **Permission Rules** - Visual builder with 6 security templates
- **MCP Servers** - Add, configure, and test Model Context Protocol integrations
- **Subagents** - Create custom agents with tool restrictions and model selection
- **Skills & Commands** - Manage skills and import slash commands from GitHub repos
- **Plugins** - Browse marketplaces, install plugins, enable/disable without editing files
### Power Features
- **Usage Metrics** - Interactive charts showing spend, tokens, and model breakdown
- **Status Line Templates** - 10+ pre-built templates with live preview
- **Dashboard** - Real-time Claude Code detection and API status monitoring
- **Debug Logs** - View and search Claude Code logs without terminal or importing the whole `.claude` directory into an IDE.
