Problem Statement

Positron is a VSCode fork built and maintained by posit, tailored around data science workflows. Particularly, it is designed to give a "VSCode like" experience for people coding in R. It is a fork of VS Code, and architecturally quite similar.

Proposed Solution

Adding the claude code extension to the positron extension marketplace, and support the use of claude code that way (like is done in vs code)
