What it does

IHSTAY (I Have Something To Ask You) — registers Claude Code hooks that feed the IHSTAY tray app, surfacing every waiting Claude session in one floating HUD.

README.md

IHSTAY — Claude Code Plugin

A thin wrapper that registers Claude Code hooks so pending prompts land on the IHSTAY HUD.

Requirements

You must also have the IHSTAY tray app installed and running. The plugin writes entries to ~/.claude/pending/board.jsonl; the tray app reads them and surfaces the HUD.

Install

/plugin marketplace add github:sadwx/ihstay
/plugin install ihstay@ihstay
/reload-plugins

Verify

Run:

/ihstay doctor

This checks:

  • The three hooks are registered
  • The hook scripts exist and are executable
  • ~/.claude/pending/board.jsonl is writable
  • The configured terminal adapter binary is in PATH

How it works

When Claude Code fires a Notification, UserPromptSubmit, or Stop event, the plugin's hook scripts append a JSONL line to ~/.claude/pending/board.jsonl. The IHSTAY tray app watches this file, renders entries in its HUD, and lets you click through to the owning terminal pane.

Uninstall

/plugin uninstall ihstay

The hook scripts stop being invoked. Your existing ~/.claude/pending/ state (config, logs) is preserved — delete that directory manually if you want a clean slate.
