prompt-stash

Keeps every prompt draft you stash in Claude Code, so a second subject never pushes out the first. Recall, remove or clear them later, without sending anything to the model.

Install · What it keeps · Band · List · Requirements · Privacy

Claude Code's own stash (ctrl+S) parks the draft in the prompt box and puts it back after your next submit, but it holds one draft. prompt-stash keeps the native gesture and adds the history: every stashed draft stays in a list until you remove it.

Install

/plugin marketplace add heidiks/agent-kit
/plugin install prompt-stash@agent-kit

Restart the session (claude --continue keeps it) to load it.

What it keeps

Every draft that leaves the prompt box without being sent:

  • ctrl+S, Claude Code's stash. It still puts the draft back after your next submit, as before; the list keeps a copy.
  • ctrl+c on a draft, so a draft cleared by mistake can be recalled.
  • ⊕ stash draft in the band, which stashes the draft in the box and empties it.

Not kept: drafts you send, drafts that run as a slash command (/...) or in bash mode (!...), since running them also empties the box; use ⊕ stash draft in the band to keep one of those. Only the text is kept, not pasted images or other attachments. A draft identical to one in the list moves that one to the top instead of adding a copy, and the list keeps the newest 50.

Band

While the current project has stashed drafts, a line above the prompt shows them:

<img alt="prompt-stash band above the Claude Code prompt: 2 stashed, stash draft and list buttons, list under the pointer" src="assets/band-light.svg">

⊕ stash draft stashes the draft in the box, ≡ list opens the list; click them, or focus the band with ctrl+x tab, Tab to one and press Enter. With nothing stashed, nothing is drawn.

With pr-watch showing pull requests, prompt-stash draws no line of its own: ✎ N sits on pr-watch's header line instead and opens the list.

List

/stash opens the list, also while Claude is working; so do ≡ list in the band and the pr-watch chip.

<img alt="prompt-stash list: this project filter, three stashed drafts with age and project, a remove mark on each" src="assets/list-light.svg">

ControlAction
A draftPuts it in the prompt box, not sent; a draft already in the box goes to the list first. The draft stays in the list
×Removes that draft
this project / all projectsDrafts of the current project (the default) or of every project
clearRemoves the drafts the list shows, after remove N items? yes no

Esc closes it. Nothing in the list, /stash included, adds anything to the conversation the model reads.

Requirements

  • Claude Code 2.1.300 or later, the first with the prompt event the capture relies on; older versions refuse to load the plugin.
  • Works with or without pr-watch.

Privacy

Drafts are stored as plain JSON in the plugin's own store under your Claude Code configuration directory, as Claude Code keeps its prompt history, and never leave your machine: the plugin makes no network call and sends nothing to the model. The list is per machine, not synced.

Built on Claude Code's early access plugin hooks API, which may change between releases.
