About Lizard Studio

Lizard Studio is a Chrome extension that embeds a Claude Code chat interface in the browser’s side panel, connected to the currently open webpage. It reads the live DOM, captures screenshots, monitors console and network activity, and can interact with the page directly. The extension operates entirely locally through a native-messaging host that connects to the user’s own Claude Code CLI, Anthropic account, and project folder. No Lizard servers are involved, and no user data is transmitted to external services beyond standard Claude usage. It includes an on-page design toolkit with rulers, guides, a column grid, eyedropper, responsive preview, and a DevTools-style inspector, all feeding into the same chat session. Installation requires loading the extension unpacked and running a one-time CLI command to establish the local connection. The tool is designed for developers building or debugging web pages who want AI assistance without manual context copying.
