Overview

Claude Code can help you build Elata apps by generating frontend code, integrating SDK packages, and interacting with protocol contracts. This guide covers setup and key workflows.

Setup

  1. Install Claude Code globally:
  1. Navigate to your project directory and run:
  1. Create a CLAUDE.md file in your project root with the context below.

CLAUDE.md Template

Create this file at the root of your project to give Claude Code context about Elata development:

Key Workflows

Scaffold a New App

Ask Claude Code to scaffold using the Elata CLI:

Integrate the Biometric SDK

Connect to Protocol Contracts

Build Tournament UI


Tips

Point Claude Code at the SDK docs (docs.elata.bio/sdk/overview) and protocol docs (docs.elata.bio/apps/build/overview) when asking it to generate integration code. It produces better results with explicit documentation references.
  • Start with create-elata-demo to get a working scaffold, then iterate with Claude Code
  • Ask Claude Code to explain SDK code before modifying it
  • Use the --template rppg flag for camera apps, --template eeg for EEG apps
