English while you write prompts in Claude Code. Write in your own language, or in English with mistakes: after a short pause, the English of your draft shows in gray right after it. One key takes it into the prompt, and the same key gives your words back. A message you send without seeing its English gets one gray ✎ line under it: its English, or up to three corrections of your English, simplest first (CEFR A1 → C1+).
All of it is for your eyes only. Nothing enters Claude's context, and nothing is ever sent for you.
While you type, after a pause:
❯ перевір чому падає тест експорту на CI → Check why the export test is failing on CI
Press Tab, and the English is your draft; Tab again gives your words back:
❯ Check why the export test is failing on CI
A message you sent in English with mistakes:
❯ please check why the export test fail on CI but pass locally
✎ the export test fail → the export test fails (agreement) · but pass locally → but passes locally (agreement)
claude plugin marketplace add rapita/cc-grammar
claude plugin install cc-grammar@rapita-cc-grammar
cc-grammar is a mod. It needs Claude Code 2.1.300 or later in the terminal, with mods allowed.
cc-grammar works in the terminal alone. In the Code tab of the Claude desktop app, in VS Code and in claude -p it loads and stays idle: nothing goes to Haiku and nothing is drawn. Support for the desktop app may come later; CONTRIBUTING.md says what it waits for.
cc-grammar adds the command /english. Bind Tab to it in ~/.claude/keybindings.json (/keybindings opens the file):
{
"bindings": [
{ "context": "Chat", "bindings": { "tab": "command:english" } },
{ "context": "Autocomplete", "bindings": { "tab": "autocomplete:accept" } }
]
}
The second binding keeps Tab for the menus of slash commands and @-mentions: without it, the first one takes Tab there too. Tab is not a letter, so it works whatever keyboard layout is on. In an empty prompt, → still takes Claude Code's own suggestion. Another key works too, if Claude Code does not reserve it and it is not a character you type.
Run /config and type cc-grammar:
| Setting | Default | What it does | | :- | :- | :- | | When | as I type and after I send | as I type: the gray English after a pause. after I send: the ✎ line. off: nothing goes to Haiku unless you press the key. | | Rule names | English | The language of the one-word rule name after each correction on the ✎ line, or none. | | Pause (ms) | 700 | How long after your last key the draft goes to Haiku. | | Longest draft (characters) | 280 | The longest draft that gets gray English while you type, and the longest message in another language that gets a ✎ line. The key takes longer drafts too. |
> …) are not sent. A long paste, which the prompt shows as [Pasted text #1 +40 lines], is not sent either: only that placeholder goes with your words. A short paste, which the prompt keeps inline, counts as your own words.!) cc-grammar stays out of the way: no gray English, and the key does nothing.v1 checked a prompt after you sent it, with an async UserPromptSubmit hook, and wrote up to three corrections to a file for your status line. It is kept at the v1.0.0 tag. Claude Code 2.1.300 reserves plugin names that start with claude-, so v1's name no longer passes validation, and v2 is named cc-grammar.
Before 2.0.2 the repository was rapita/claude-grammar and the marketplace was named rapita-claude-grammar. That covers v1 (claude-grammar) and cc-grammar 2.0.0 and 2.0.1. In 2.0.2 the marketplace was named rapita.
claude plugin marketplace remove rapita-claude-grammar (or rapita, for 2.0.2). This also uninstalls what came from it, with its settings./config./claude-grammar:setup added to your status line. With ccstatusline, delete the segment that runs ~/.claude/grammar-status.sh. With a script of your own, delete the two lines it appended, the marker comment and the call. If setup wrote the whole statusLine block in ~/.claude/settings.json because you had none, delete that block: deleting only its command line leaves invalid JSON. Then rm ~/.claude/grammar-status.sh.MIT. CONTRIBUTING.md covers how it works, the tests, and running it from source.

2// - After a pause, the English of your draft shows in gray after it: your words translated from any
3// language, or your English corrected. The key you bind to the command `english` (Tab) takes it into
4// the prompt, and gives your words back.
5// - English you never saw before Enter shows once, as a gray ✎ line under your message: the English of
6// your words, or up to three corrections of your English, simplest first.
7// Nothing is sent for you and nothing goes on disk. Your own words go to Haiku for their English (a draft
8// too, after a pause, even one you never send); the conversation's model never sees any of this.
9//
10// Where: the terminal alone, where Claude Code draws its own prompt box. The desktop app, VS Code and a -p
11// run are SDK hosts (`isInteractive` false): a remote host draws no gray text in its box and binds no key of

13// desktop app would need is in CONTRIBUTING.md.
