README

claude-editor-hook

A command palette for Claude Code that intercepts `Ctrl-G` to launch editors, tools, and specialized agents.

**Note:** Also available as `g-menu` for convenience.

Current Status

✅ **Working and Simple** - FZF command palette with persistent sessions.

**✅ Working Now:**

FZF command palette with 8+ options
Edit with Emacs/Vi/Nano (returns to Claude Code when done)
Open Terminal (full shell with $PROMPT env var set to temp file path)
Recent Files - Query JSONL logs for last 25 files Claude touched (with intelligent caching)
Subagent Context Package - Spawn Claude instances with rich parent context (conversation + tools + files)
Interactive + non-interactive prompt enhancement
Universal command palette accessible from any terminal via menu or m commands

**📋 Future Exploration (Not Actively Planned):**

Menu extensions based on real usage needs (git ops, log streaming, test runners)
Enhanced history viewer - "Better Ctrl-O" parsing ~/.claude/projects
Context file system for multi-file opening (may revisit if use cases emerge)
Multi-pane tmux layouts with logs
MCP tool for Claude to write context files
Multi-agent orchestration (interesting theory, likely overkill)

What Is This?

When you press `Ctrl-G` in Claude Code to edit a prompt, it launches whatever is in your `$EDITOR` environment variable. This project intercepts that hook to provide a command palette that can launch:

✅ Interactive menus with FZF for choosing editors and tools
✅ Prompt enhancement agents that investigate your codebase and rewrite prompts
✅ Any editor (emacs, vi, nano) or viewer (batcat)
✅ Anything scriptable - the menu accepts any command or script
📋 Multiple files at specific line numbers (requires context file system - planned)
📋 Tmux layouts with editor, logs, and test panes (planned)
📋 Log streams from servers or browsers (planned)
