Each project runs in a cloud workspace with the app and dev database ready. You reach it through the Claude desktop app — no browser editor, no local setup — and build by describing what you want. Production data never reaches you.
Everything you need to go from zero to shipping. Read how it works, do the one-time setup, connect your first project — then you're working. About 10 minutes the first time; seconds every day after.
The Codespace is your environment — a cloud computer with the app running. Claude Desktop is your interface — you connect it to that workspace and build by talking. Nothing runs on your laptop; production data never reaches you.
Open rivent.dev and sign in with your @slw.vc email. Bookmark it — it's the front door to every project.
GitHub builds a cloud workspace from the repo's .devcontainer — dependencies and dev-database wired up, identical for everyone. It runs on practice data; production is never injected. You never open the browser editor — you reach the workspace through Claude Desktop.
The native Claude app connects to that workspace over SSH. You get the Claude interface, with the real running environment behind it — one place to work.
Tell Claude what you want in plain English. It runs inside the Codespace — sees the real code, runs the app, uses the dev database.
Changes are reviewed before they go live, and the workspace persists — reconnect tomorrow right where you left off.
This lets your computer open cloud workspaces. In Terminal:
Choose GitHub.com → HTTPS → login with a browser. If you ever hit a "codespace scope" error, run gh auth refresh -h github.com -s codespace.
Download the Claude desktop app and sign in with your own Claude plan (Pro or Max). This is your interface for every project.
Do this once per project. Already set up your machine (blocks 1–2)? Those are done forever — start right here for each new project. Setting up a second project just adds it alongside the first in your Claude Desktop dropdown.
Pick your project and run the command in Terminal — it spins up the workspace (~30–60s the first time) with the app, dependencies, and dev database ready. No browser editor opens; you'll reach it through Claude Desktop.
One command tells your machine how to reach it, and shows its address:
Your workspace address is cs.<that-name>.main — you'll paste it next.
Click the "Where Claude runs" dropdown (bottom of the Code window) → + Add SSH connection, and fill in the four fields:
Select the connection — Claude installs itself on the workspace (~20s). The dropdown now shows LP Flow instead of "Default."
Claude runs inside the workspace — it sees the real code, can run the app on the dev database, and makes the change. Your work goes up as a reviewed change; nobody edits the live app directly.
Coming back later? Open Claude Desktop → pick the project from the dropdown → keep going. No setup — it's already connected.
Everything after today is: open Claude Desktop, pick your project, build.
Every change lives on our GitHub Project board, from a rough idea to a shipped feature. This is a first draft of how we'll use it.
The flow below is a draft preview — the columns and process aren't finalized. This tab lights up once it's set.
All projects share one GitHub Projects board. Open it from any project card (Project board →) or bookmark it directly. Each card on the board is one piece of work — a fix, a feature, or an idea — and it moves left to right as it progresses.
Raw ideas and requests, unsorted. Anyone can drop one here — a sentence is enough.
Triaged and ready to pick up, roughly in priority order.
Being worked on right now — a branch is open and Claude is on it.
A pull request is open, waiting for a teammate to approve.
Merged and live. The card links to the PR that delivered it.
Add a card to Inbox — or use /capture while working and Claude files it for you.
Move a card to In progress, open the project in Claude, and describe what you want.
Claude does the work on a branch and opens a PR — the card moves to In review.
A teammate approves, CI passes, it merges — the card moves to Shipped.
