Summary This workflow describes 'CC Intelligent UI', a Claude Code mod that renders Claude's text-based output (Markdown, LaTeX, images, charts, diagrams) as typeset pictures directly in the terminal using Typst. ## Description It enhances readability and visual comprehension of Claude's responses, including plan mode outputs, by converting them into a more visually appealing format. Install Typst via Homebrew (macOS): brew install typst. Install the cc-intelligent-ui plugin using Claude Code's plugin manager: /plugin install cc-intelligent-ui --marketplace razorback16/cc-intelligent-ui. The mod automatically renders Claude Code's output. No restart is needed. Optionally, turn off the mod with /iui off, or change themes with /iui theme . Only tested on macOS, with limited terminal support (no tmux/screen), non-progressive rendering, and rendered text is not searchable. ## Original README Enhance Claude Code Terminal UI with Real-time Rendered Markdown, LaTeX, and Diagrams using 'CC Intelligent UI' Plugin Workflow value: 90/100 Status: active · Freshness: 70/100 · Confidence: 0.95 · Level: intermediate Categories: Quality Control, Token Saving, Debugging, Hooks, MCP Original source: r/ClaudeCode post/comment What problem this solves Improves readability and comprehension of Claude Code's text-based output in the terminal, especially for tables, LaTeX math, and diagrams, by rendering them as typeset images. Summary This workflow describes 'CC Intelligent UI', a Claude Code mod that renders Claude's text-based output (Markdown, LaTeX, images, charts, diagrams) as typeset pictures directly in the terminal using Typst. It enhances readability and visual comprehension of Claude's responses, including plan mode outputs, by converting them into a more visually appealing format. Why it is useful This workflow is valuable because it provides a concrete, installable solution to a common pain point for technical users of Claude Code: the difficulty of reading complex Markdown, LaTeX, and diagrams in a plain text terminal. By rendering these outputs as typeset images, it significantly enhances readability, comprehension, and the overall user experience, making Claude Code's output more actionable and visually appealing. It's a practical, well-documented, and open-source enhancement.

Limited terminal support (no tmux/screen, specific terminals only). Rendering is not progressive; output appears only after Claude finishes. Text within rendered pictures is not searchable.
