What it does
jcaldwell-labs/my-grid is a Claude Code plugin that brings a terminal-native ASCII canvas editor into your workflow. Inspired by Raskin-style infinite canvases, it lets solo builders arrange tasks, notes, and spawned terminal regions on a grid instead of losing context across disjoint tabs. It is best when you already live in the terminal alongside Claude Code and want a lightweight visual PM layer without opening another GUI app. The plugin count is one focused tool rather than a broad marketplace, so expectations should stay on organization and control—not automated deploys or integrations. Use it during Build and Operate when parallel streams (agent prompts, logs, checklists) need a stable spatial layout you can revisit between sessions. Beginners comfortable with basic terminal navigation get the most value; it does not replace a full Kanban product but reduces friction for indie operators who think visually while staying in CLI-first environments.
Highlights
- Single-plugin bundle: terminal ASCII canvas editor (my-grid)
- Raskin-inspired infinite canvas for spatial workspace in the shell
- Grid-based visual organization with spawn/control workflow keywords
- Complements agent coding by giving you a persistent spatial map of work
Why builders use it
Terminal-only builders lose track of parallel tasks, shells, and notes because everything stacks in one scrollback with no spatial layout.
You get a persistent grid canvas in the terminal to organize work visually while Claude Code runs beside it.
