Why does the WebStorm IDE keeps asking for Claude account with subscription? Can we have free account to participate? Please help

I am trying to learn the SDD and following the instructions. But in vidoe 6, “Creating the Constitution” , I tried to open Claude from WebStorm IDE and it keeps asking me for login method to Claude. I thought we can use all free versions to learn this topic. can anyone please help me, as to how to avoid that prompt and use Claude free version?

Hi, Welcome to the community.
Claude code is subscription-based, so you need a subscription to use claude code. If you need a free version, you may need to use another coding agent, e.g. gemini-cli has a free version. You could also use any other IDE of your choice. The course was designed to be agent-agnostic.

isn’t AskUserQuestion a claude-code tool?

You’re right. It’s a Claude code tool. But Gemini cli also has the ask user tool. That’s why the course is designed to work with any coding agent and any IDE. You just need to find the equivalent tools in your choice coding environment.
