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.jsonlis 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.
