Inspector is a visual front-end editor that connects to your AI coding agent, functioning as a visual layer for your codebase. It enables developers to click on any element in their UI, get context, and ship faster with their favorite coding agent by providing direct visual editing capabilities.

Key features include connecting to Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex accounts, moving elements visually and applying changes to the codebase, clicking to add visual context that links elements to their exact line of code, taking page-aware screenshots that snap to any element, and double-clicking to edit any text on the page and save it directly to the codebase. The tool also allows switching between different AI coding agents seamlessly.

Inspector works by connecting a browser-based visual editor to local codebases, where changes made visually are written directly to the source code. It integrates with GitHub for publishing changes by creating branches, committing changes, and publishing pull requests directly from the application.

The benefits include eliminating design handoff processes by allowing direct visual edits to code, enabling faster iteration cycles, and providing a local-first development environment. Use cases include front-end development workflows where developers can visually tweak UI elements and have those changes reflected in their codebase immediately.

Target users are developers working with React, Next.js, or Vite apps, particularly those using AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. The tool also supports designers who want to push changes to production codebases. Technical details include local data storage, GitHub integration for version control, and compatibility primarily with React-based applications.
