Local-only server on 127.0.0.1, macOS only for now, installable via the plugin marketplace. ## Description In long Claude Code sessions, user questions get lost and "Done" is reported while some requests remain unaddressed. side-insights is a Claude Code plugin that shows a side panel beside the session: - Q&A: lists every question sent, even those typed while Claude was working, and marks each as answered / partial / unanswered, highlighting what was missed; a single key copies the question for re-asking. - Flow (logic review): after a turn that changes files, it walks through the changed feature in execution order following one example input, with the real code, changed lines and diffs. It is Claude reading code, not a debugger. - Live: every tool call as it runs and the files Claude edited. Install inside Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add wonjoonSeol-WS/claude-side-insights /plugin install side-insights@claude-side-insights then run /si (or /si-browser in a browser-capable terminal such as cmux). Notes: /si is drawn by Claude Code itself (new mod API), needs Claude Code 2.1.287+; macOS only for now; checks run as a separate 'claude -p' after each turn so the main session context is untouched; up to two extra Claude calls per turn can be reduced or disabled in settings; everything stays local, the server listens only on 127.0.0.1 and requires a token.

I also couldn't tell how the code worked after the change. So I built side-insights, a Claude Code plugin with a pane that sits next to your session: https://preview.redd.it/dcpc9d9rgavh1.png?width=1782&format=png&auto=webp&s=4b00446181fc78edf2981e0049d2cd6a6c445542 - Q&A: lists every question you sent, even ones typed while Claude was working, and marks each one answered / partial / unanswered. The missing part is highlighted, and one key copies the question so you can ask again. - Flow (logic review): after a turn that changes files, it walks through the changed feature in the order the code runs, following one example input through every step, with the real code, the changed lines and each file's diff. It's Claude reading the code, not a debugger, so treat it as a guide and check the code. - Live: every tool call as it runs and the files Claude edited. Install, inside Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add wonjoonSeol-WS/claude-side-insights /plugin install side-insights@claude-side-insights and run /si or /si-browser if you use browser supported terminal like cmux! Some details: - /si is drawn by Claude Code itself (the new mod API), so it works in any terminal. Needs Claude Code 2.1.287+. /si-browser opens the full panel in a browser (a split in cmux). - macOS only for now. - Your session is untouched: the checks run as a separate claude -p after each turn, so they don't touch your context. - Usage: up to two extra Claude calls per turn: one Q&A check, plus a flow if the turn changed files. Pick a lighter model or turn off the automatic runs in settings (g in the pane) to use less. - Local only: everything stays on your machine. The server only listens on 127.0.0.1 and needs a token.
