IntelliJ extension

A JetBrains plugin bringing the same Raplify AI chat into IntelliJ, WebStorm, PyCharm and the rest — auto-paired with the bridge.

A JetBrains-family plugin (Kotlin) that brings the same Raplify AI chat into IntelliJ, WebStorm, PyCharm and the rest. This first pass (v0.1.0) is the chat panel — the core of the VS Code extension — plus editor “Ask Raplify” actions. It auto-pairs with the bridge, so there's no token UI to manage.

Honest scope

The IntelliJ plugin ships the chat experience today. The Chrome visual inspector (Design / Colors / Fonts / Assets) is browser-only and is 🚧 roadmap for JetBrains — it is not in this plugin.

What ships today

Chat tool window

A right-side “Raplify Chat” tool window — a JCEF browser hosting the identical @raplify/ui chat surface (lanes, queue, model + permission-mode, image attach, history, tool cards). Byte-for-byte the same UI as VS Code.

Ask Raplify · code

Editor right-click → Ask Raplify About This Code (⌘K ⌘R / Ctrl K Ctrl R) injects the selection (or current file) into the composer.

Ask Raplify · file

Ask Raplify About This File from the editor or Project view attaches the whole file.

Open-file from chat

File references jump to source in the IDE editor with the right line/range — via a window.raplifyOpenFile bridge hook.

Auto-pairing bridge

The plugin spawns the Node raplify-bridge.cjs and injects the token into the webview — no copy/paste/rotate. Same ~/.raplify-bridge/tokens.json the CLI + VS Code use.

Settings

Settings ▸ Tools ▸ Raplify: Node.js path and Claude CLI path.

How it works

IntelliJ plugin (Kotlin / JVM) — thin host
  ├─ Tool window → JCEF browser  ──loads──►  webview.js  (@raplify/ui chat, wired to a WS transport)
  └─ spawns Node raplify-bridge.cjs  ◄──secure WebSocket (HMAC)──┘
       (@raplify/cli: ClaudeCliRunner + ChatController + BridgeServer)

Because the chat UI and the bridge server are shared packages, the IntelliJ plugin is intentionally thin — the same engine that powers VS Code and the Chrome side panel.

Requirements & install

An IntelliJ-family IDE 2023.2+ (bundled JCEF).
Node.js and the Claude CLI on your machine.
Install: Settings ▸ Plugins ▸ ⚙ ▸ Install Plugin from Disk… → pick raplify-intellij-0.1.0.zip. Then open the Raplify Chat tool window on the right.
