AICHE +Claude Code Integration

The short answer: press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak for 30-60 seconds, and AICHE drops a formatted prompt into Claude Code. You hit Enter. Claude builds.

The Problem With Claude Code

Claude Code is the best coding agent available. You know this. You're probably sending it 50+ prompts per day.

Here's what that looks like: type for 3 minutes, wait for Claude, review output, type another detailed prompt, wait, review, repeat. Your wrists hurt. Your back hurts. You're glued to the keyboard for hours.

The irony: Claude Code lets you think at architecture level, but you're still typing like it's 1995.

What Changes With AICHE

You pace around your room explaining what you need. You gesture at invisible whiteboards. You think out loud for 45 seconds straight without your fingers touching a keyboard.

AICHE captures everything, formats it properly, and inserts it into Claude Code's input field. You walk back, hit Enter, and Claude starts building.

The math: speaking is 150 WPM. Typing is 40 WPM. A detailed prompt that takes 4 minutes to type takes 50 seconds to speak.

How It Works

1. Launch Claude Code in your terminal.
2. Click into the chat input.
3. Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.

4. Speak your complete requirement with full context: "Refactor the authentication module to use JWT tokens, add refresh token rotation with 7-day expiry, implement Redis for token blacklisting, and add rate limiting on the token refresh endpoint - 10 requests per minute per user."
5. Press the hotkey again. AICHE transcribes, cleans up filler words, and inserts the text.
6. Hit Enter. Claude Code executes.

Why Longer Prompts Matter

Claude Code performs better with context. The more detail you provide upfront, the fewer correction cycles you need.

But typing a 200-word prompt with architectural context, edge cases, and constraints? That's 5 minutes of keyboard time. Most developers skip details to save time, then spend longer fixing Claude's assumptions.

Speaking removes the friction. You naturally include more context because talking is easy. Better prompts, better output, fewer iterations.

For Non-English Thinkers

Enable "Translate to English" in AICHE settings. Think in Russian, German, Mandarin, Spanish - whatever's native to you. AICHE transcribes and translates. Claude receives perfect English prompts.

Your brain works faster in your native language. Stop translating in your head while typing.

The Real Benefit

This isn't about typing speed. It's about how you think.

Standing up and pacing while explaining a problem activates different cognitive patterns than sitting hunched over a keyboard. You catch edge cases. You think through architecture. You explain things more clearly because you're literally talking through the problem.

Claude Code handles the implementation. AICHE handles the input. You handle the thinking.

Try it now: open Claude Code, press your hotkey, and speak one task you've been avoiding because explaining it properly felt like too much typing.
