+# Story 43: Unified Chat UI for Claude Code and Regular Chat
+
+## User Story
+
+As a user, I want the Claude Code chat to display the same rich, structured conversation UI as the regular Anthropic/Ollama chat, so that tool calls, file reads, and code edits are shown as collapsible sections rather than a flat text blob.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Claude Code stream-json output is parsed on the backend to extract tool use events (file reads, writes, shell commands, etc.)
+- [ ] Claude Code tool use events are mapped to the same Message structure (tool_calls + tool role messages) used by Anthropic/Ollama providers
+- [ ] The frontend renders Claude Code conversations with the same visual structure as regular chat: tool call badges, collapsible tool output, and interleaved assistant text
+- [ ] Streaming content from Claude Code shows incremental progress the same way regular chat does
+- [ ] Both chat modes are visually indistinguishable in terms of layout and styling
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
