Install Pan Out

Pan Out is free and open source. You need Claude Code v1.0.33 or later, and about two minutes.

From the plugin marketplace (recommended)

Open any Claude Code session and run:

/plugin marketplace add alexeyv/pan-out
/plugin install pan-out@pan-out-marketplace

The first command registers the plugin source. The second installs Pan Out from it.

That’s it. Now create a workspace.

Create your cooking workspace

Pan Out keeps everything — protocols, session logs, calibration data, cook history — in a single directory on your machine. Create it wherever makes sense for you:

mkdir ~/cooking
cd ~/cooking

This directory is your project root. Always launch Claude Code from here:

claude

Pan Out resolves all its file paths relative to wherever you start Claude Code. Your protocols will live in protocols/, your session logs in sessions/, and so on. You don’t need to create those subdirectories now — the skills create them as needed.

From source

If you want to hack on the skills or run from a local copy:

1. Clone the repo somewhere (not inside your cooking workspace):

   git clone https://github.com/alexeyv/pan-out.git
   

2. Create your cooking workspace and launch Claude Code from it:

   mkdir ~/cooking
   cd ~/cooking
   claude --plugin-dir /path/to/pan-out
   

3. Verify it loaded — type /panout-help and you should see the Pan Out skill list.

Voice and dictation are optional, but they make the cooking experience much smoother — especially when your hands are busy. A dictation app like Wispr Flow lets you just say what you need.
