Glaido CLI in the terminal and in Claude Code

You know the moment. Glaido writes Cubernetes again, and the fix is a settings screen you do not want to open for one word.

The Glaido CLI is the command for that. It comes with the app, so there is nothing else to download. Glaido has to be running. Once the command line is on, you can teach it a spelling, save a snippet, or change a setting from the terminal you already have open.

Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor can use the same command. You describe the change. They type it.

The spelling it keeps missing

You are already in a terminal. You do not have to leave it.

glaido dictionary add Kubernetes --misspelling Cubernetes

That line only adds the word. Everything else in your dictionary stays put.

The same shape works when you are tired of typing the same thing. glaido snippets set "my email" [email protected] saves the snippet. glaido extensions enable color-picker turns the color picker on. Neither one opens the app window.

If you want the rest, glaido --help prints it, and glaido settings shows what is set right now. The command line guide covers the one case that trips people up: the page says the command is not on your PATH yet. You add a line to your shell profile and open a new terminal.

Turn it on once

Open Settings > Command line, under Developer, and turn the switch on.

The page says Ready when a new terminal can see glaido.

Hand it to Claude Code

Picture a spec already open in Claude Code, full of product names Glaido has never heard. You could copy them into the dictionary one by one. You can also tell Claude to add them.

On the Command line page, under Connect an AI agent, add Glaido to Claude Code or Codex, then start a new session. If you would rather paste it yourself:

claude mcp add --scope user glaido -- glaido mcp
codex mcp add glaido -- glaido mcp

Cursor does it with glaido and the argument mcp. The MCP guide has that config, plus a read-only switch for the days you want an agent to look and leave your settings alone.

Then you talk to it the way you would talk to someone at your desk.

Add every product name in this spec to my dictionary. Save my support address as a snippet called address. Turn on the color picker.

New words and new snippets only get added. If it wants to remove something, replace a snippet, or change a setting, Glaido shows you the change before anything is saved. You agree, then it applies.

If you have used Custom Tools, those are for when Glaido should call a task manager or a notes app. Connecting Claude Code is for when you want the agent to update Glaido.

The next time it misspells a name

Update from inside the app, or download it. Turn on Command line, and open a new terminal. The next wrong spelling is one line.
