claude-decision-tracker

A small plugin ("mod") for Claude Code's terminal UI that keeps the decisions mentioned in Claude's replies in a band above the prompt until they are written to your decision log.

日本語の説明は README.ja.md にあります。

When to use

  • When you and Claude settle things during a session ("we decided to use pnpm", "going with option B") and you want to write them down later, but by then they have scrolled away.
  • When your project keeps a decision log in files (for example docs/decisions/) and the rule is "record it right away".

Not for you if you run Claude non-interactively (claude -p).

What it looks like

After a reply that contains a decision sentence, a band appears above the prompt:

📝 Unrecorded decisions (2): We decided to use pnpm for the m… / Going with option B for the cache … 

Press the band to open every decision in full (numbered, wrapped to the width); press it again to fold it back to one line. It stays there, across turns, until an Edit, Write or MultiEdit to a path containing record_path succeeds. /decisions lists the items with numbers, /decisions done 2 removes one, /decisions clear removes all.

Requirements

  • Built on Claude Code's plugin hooks ("mods") API, which is in early access and may change between versions.
  • Developed and tested with Claude Code 2.1.295 on macOS.
  • Windows is untested.

Install

claude plugin marketplace add i-noma-ru/claude-decision-tracker
claude plugin install decision-tracker@claude-decision-tracker

Or for one session only, from a clone:

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/claude-decision-tracker

Configuration

All settings have defaults. Change them with /plugin configure decision-tracker@claude-decision-tracker or in /config.

SettingDefaultMeaning
keywordswe decided, decided to, decision:, agreed to, going with, and six Japanese phrases (裁定, に決めました, と決めました, に決定, を採用します, を採用しました)A sentence containing one of these (case-insensitive) is kept.
record_pathdocs/decisions/A successful Edit, Write or MultiEdit to a path containing this text clears the band.
max_items20Oldest items are dropped beyond this count.

How it works

  • At the end of each of Claude's turns, the reply is split into sentences (at ., 。 and line breaks) with code blocks and inline code removed. Sentences containing a keyword are kept, cut to 80 characters. Questions (ending in ?, ?, ますか, でしょうか) are skipped so "which should we decide on?" is not mistaken for a decision. Duplicates are kept once.
  • Subagent replies and turns that ended in an abort or error are ignored.
  • Items live in the session state: they survive a reload of the mod and are gone when the session ends.

What the plugin reads

The text of each finished reply, and the file_path and result of Edit / Write calls. It reads no files and sends nothing anywhere.
