daily.dev plugin for Claude Code

Real-time developer content from daily.dev, inside Claude Code.

Install it from the daily.dev marketplace (Claude Code 2.1.275 or later does this in one step):

/plugin install daily.dev --marketplace dailydotdev/daily

The daily-dev-ask skill ships as its own plugin from the same marketplace:

/plugin install daily-dev-ask --marketplace dailydotdev/daily

What you get:

  • daily.dev skill — query feeds, search posts, and pull personalized content via the daily.dev API. Works with any daily.dev account: create a free API token, or connect Claude Code to the daily.dev MCP server at https://api.daily.dev/mcp and sign in instead (see the skill for setup).
  • /daily.dev:trends skill — today's curated headlines and most-upvoted posts, no token needed.
  • Headlines — rotating daily.dev headlines while you wait: a status line entry under the prompt and a band above it with Open and Hide. Curated major headlines interleaved with the community's most-upvoted posts of the day, refreshed every 10 minutes, rotating every ~60 seconds. Headlines are clickable in terminals with hyperlink support (iTerm2, Kitty, WezTerm, Ghostty).

Headlines setup

Nothing to set up. On Claude Code 2.1.275 or later the plugin ships a hooks module that shows the headline as soon as the plugin is installed, with no edits to your settings.json. Your own statusLine setting, if you have one, keeps working alongside it. Press Hide on the band to dismiss it for the current session.

Upgrading from the old statusline

Versions before 0.7.0 wired the headlines into statusLine in ~/.claude/settings.json. Leaving that in place next to the new hooks module shows the headline twice. Run:

/daily.dev:statusline

and Claude removes the old entry. If you prefer to do it by hand, delete the statusLine key whose command points at statusline/statusline.mjs.

Older Claude Code

Claude Code before 2.1.275 does not load the hooks module, so the band and status line entry do not appear. The old setup still works there: run /daily.dev:statusline and Claude wires the script into ~/.claude/settings.json, or point statusLine at the plugin's script yourself. The glob keeps it working across plugin updates:

{
  "statusLine": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": "node \"$(ls -td \"$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/daily-dev/daily-dev\"/*/ | head -1)statusline/statusline.mjs\"",
    "refreshInterval": 10
  }
}

This replaces any custom statusline you already have, since Claude Code user settings hold a single statusLine.

Notes

  • Requires node on your PATH. Honors NO_COLOR.
  • Content is fetched anonymously from the public daily.dev API and cached in ~/.cache/dailydev-claude/.
  • The hooks module runs the same statusline/statusline.mjs script, so caching, the 24h no-repeat history and click attribution behave the same either way.

Telemetry

The headlines report anonymous impressions (which headlines were shown) to daily.dev analytics, using the same anonymous tracking id a logged-out daily.dev visitor gets. No code, file paths, or session content is ever collected — events carry only the shown post id and plugin version.

Opt out any time:

export DAILY_DEV_TELEMETRY=0

1/**
2 * daily.dev mod: rotating headlines with no settings.json edits.
3 *
4 * Reuses statusline/statusline.mjs unchanged, so caching, the 24h no-repeat
5 * history, /c/ click attribution (cc_uid) and impression telemetry
6 * (DAILY_DEV_TELEMETRY=0 opts out) behave exactly as today. The script prints
7 * the current headline from its local cache and starts a detached background
8 * refresh when the cache is stale; this mod polls it and shows the result.
