BuildOver Setup

BuildOver wraps your existing dev server with a reverse proxy + AI chat widget. You visit localhost:<buildover-port> instead of your original port, and a floating panel lets you ask Claude to edit your source files live with HMR.

Packages (all pulled in by the buildover CLI):

• buildover — CLI (buildover dev)
• buildover-server — auto-installed dependency
• buildover-widget — auto-installed dependency

Workflow

1. Check Existing Installation

buildover --version 2>/dev/null || npx buildover --version 2>/dev/null
