claude-essential-conversation

A Claude Code plugin written with Mods (function hooks). It lists, in a side pane, the pair of each turn's typed prompt and Claude Code's last answer for that turn.

Note: Claude Mods (function hooks) are an Early Access feature as of September 2026; the API may still change.

File layout

.claude-plugin/plugin.json   # Plugin metadata
hooks/hooks.json             # Declares register.tsx to be loaded
hooks/register.tsx           # The mod itself (event registration, pane rendering)
tsconfig.json                 # Dev-time config for the types /plugin-types generates

Usage

1. Enable function hooks (via ~/.claude/settings.json or an env var at session start).

   {
     "env": {
       "CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS": "1"
     }
   }
   

2. Start a session with this directory as the plugin dir.

   CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1 claude --plugin-dir .
   

3. Run /conversation in the session to toggle the pane.

Development

To refresh the type definitions, run the following inside a session (writes .claude/types/claude-code.d.ts):
