About this mod
A per-session markdown notepad in a pane beside the transcript. Commands include /note to toggle the pane, append lines, switch between View and Edit modes, clear the current session's note, and prune stale notes. View mode renders markdown with clickable task checkboxes, while Edit mode provides a line editor. Notes are stored locally in the mod's own $.store with no network, model, process, or telemetry calls. Requires Claude Code 2.1.287+.

Commands
| Command | Does |
| --- | --- |
| /note | Toggle the pane |
| /note <text> | Append a line |
| /note edit / /note view | Switch mode (or press e / v in the pane) |
| /note clear | Empty this session's note, after a confirmation dialog |
| /note prune [days] | Delete other sessions' notes untouched for days (default 30), after confirmation |
| /note -- <text> | Append text literally, even a reserved word (/note -- clear) |
Modes
- View renders the note with the
Markdownelement. Task lines (- [ ],- [x]) are drawn as☐/☑buttons: click, or Tab + Enter, to toggle. Tasks inside fenced code are left alone. - Edit is a line editor: one text field per line (Enter saves; typing saves after a pause),
xdeletes a line,+inserts one below, and the bottom field appends.
Mods have no multiline text field, hence the line editor. Clickable checkboxes inside Markdown
aren't supported by the mods API, hence the buttons; a task nested in a list loses its list styling.
Markdown caps at 10,000 characters per block, so very long runs are truncated in View (never in Edit).
Storage
Notes live in the mod's own $.store (a JSON file under ~/.claude/plugins/store/, 4 MiB total), under
note:<session id>. An emptied note is deleted. /clear, /resume and /branch reload the right note;
/branch copies the parent's note into the new session.
No network, model, process or telemetry calls. claude plugin validate . lists every call.
