Live brain surgery on your agent's memory. Left to itself, Claude Code's compaction decides what survives, and a few compactions in you can't tell what the agent still knows, let alone steer it. Workface has the agent keep a short notes file, hands it back verbatim after every compaction summary, auto or manual, and shows it live in a panel beside the transcript, where you cut, add or question lines before the agent wakes up with them: you choose what survives. One install, no setup: it works with the compaction Claude Code already does.

A tranche is one long piece of work; its workface is the notes file for it, at ~/.claude/workface/<tranche>/workface.md: at most 120 lines, links first, then what is true now, and a dated log. The agent that orchestrates the tranche keeps it current. The approach has been in daily use on long orchestration runs, first as a skill and now as this mod, and it is kept deliberately small: see Make it yours for where to take it further.

How it works

  • The agent keeps its notes. As work moves it rewrites live state in place and logs each event through the mod, which stamps the time. At 80% of the auto-compact threshold the mod asks it, once per compaction, to bring the file up to date first.
  • The log doesn't grow without end. Past 120 lines or 25 log entries the mod asks the agent, once, to trim: it lifts what is still needed into live state, then archive moves all but the last 10 entries verbatim into the tranche's log/ folder, indexed in log/README.md with the agent's summary, so a later agent can find them.
  • Compaction keeps them. On every compaction, auto or manual, the mod briefs the summarizer with the exact text that will follow the summary, so the summary spends its words on what the notes don't hold; then it re-attaches the notes, read fresh at that moment, right after the summary, labelled as automated context rather than a message from you. On resume it attaches them again. A subagent's own compactions are left alone.
  • You choose what survives. The panel shows the notes as the agent writes them and exactly what the summarizer and the agent will receive. Omit a line, add an owner note or ask about one, and the next re-attach carries your version.

Watch and steer it live

<img src="assets/panel.svg" alt="The workface panel: tabs, stats, sections on coloured bands, Live state open with coloured shas and status words, a new line marked +, an omitted line struck through, Owner notes open with the owner's line marked by a diamond, ask and omit controls, and the owner note input" width="640">

  • See what it will remember. The panel shows the workface as the agent writes it. + marks lines written since the last re-attach (attach, or the last compaction), and the header shows the line budget, the file's age and commits made since it was last written. Full shows exactly what the summarizer and the agent will receive.
  • Cut what's wrong. ✕ keeps a stale or mistaken line out of what the agent gets back after compaction, without touching the file. ↺ puts it back.
  • Add what's yours. ◆ note writes - owner <time>: <your note> under ## Owner notes. The mod records which lines you wrote and marks only those (⟨owner, verified by the workface mod⟩) when it hands the workface over, after stripping that mark from every other line, so no agent can forge it.
  • Ask about anything. ? puts a line or a whole section on your next prompt, once. It shows ✓ while pending and a second press takes it back.
  • Three tabs. Compact puts sections on coloured bands; click one to expand it, and a long line opens in full from its ▸. Full is the hand-over text. Browse lists every tranche, the sessions running on it, its age and size.
  • Plain Markdown, your shape. The agent shapes the sections within the 120-line budget; there is no tracker or template to adopt, and other tools and agents can read the file.

The panel docks beside the transcript in fullscreen and sits inline above the prompt otherwise, modelled on the /diff panel. Its colours follow your Claude Code theme (see Configure).

Install

The repository is its own marketplace:

claude plugin marketplace add scodge-24/workface
claude plugin install workface@workface

Or from a session: /plugin install workface --marketplace scodge-24/workface. Needs Claude Code v2.1.287 or later (mods). Run /reload-plugins in a session that was open during the install.

Auto-update is off for a marketplace you add yourself: turn it on under Marketplaces in /plugin (select workface, then Enable auto-update), or run claude plugin update workface@workface by hand.

Quick start

/workface start release-2.0   # writes a skeleton for the agent to fill in
/workface                     # opens the panel beside the transcript

Then work as usual. The agent updates the workface as things change, and every compaction from then on, auto or manual, hands it back right after the summary.

# release-2.0 — workface (read first after compaction)

Repo(s): `<path>`. Brief: `<path>` (§ index below), or none.

## Doctrine and evidence (links only)
- `<path>` — <what it settles; which § matter>

## Code seams
- `<path>` — <symbols that matter; one known trap>

## Live state (as of 2026-10-03 14:20)
- HEAD / remote: <sha> (<pushed?>; CI <run id, result>)
- Running: <agent/workflow id — what — launched when — what to check on return>
- Work state: <the tracker query that lists it, or: open owner decisions, parked, next in order>

## Policies and recipes
- <push/verify gate, concurrency limits, commands that bit before>

## Log
- 2026-10-03 14:20 — workface started

Use

CommandDoes
/workface start <tranche>Creates the workface from a skeleton and attaches this session to it
/workface attach <tranche>Joins an existing tranche and shows the agent its workface
/workface resumeShows the attached workface again
/workface log <entry>Appends - YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM — <entry> to ## Log, stamped with the local time
/workface archive <summary>Moves all but the last 10 log entries to log/<first>_<last>.md and indexes them in log/README.md
/workface detachStops this session orchestrating it; the files stay
/workfaceOpens or closes the panel

The agent has the same verbs as the tool mcp__workface__workface, so it can start or join a tranche when you ask it to, and the protocol it is handed has it log through log, so log times come from the clock, not from the agent's guess. Main session only: a subagent shares its parent's session id and is refused.

Configure

Colours are plugin options, shown as rows in /config (or set under pluginConfigs in settings.json): color_accent, color_sha, color_code, color_time, color_good, color_warn, color_bad. Each takes a Claude Code theme key (success, warning, merged, …), a terminal colour name (magenta, cyan, …) or a hex colour (#ff79c6). Unset, they follow your theme. To match a statusline that shows git in magenta:

"pluginConfigs": { "workface@workface": { "options": { "color_sha": "magenta" } } }

status_line (off by default) adds the tranche, line budget, age and commits-since to Claude Code's status line.

Data and files

Everything stays on your machine: the mod makes no network requests and sends nothing anywhere. It changes no settings or permissions and never alters or decides a tool call (it only adds a reminder after an Edit or Write that takes the workface over budget). Run claude plugin validate on a checkout to list every call it makes.

  • Files it writes, all under ~/.claude/workface/: a tranche's workface.md (the skeleton on /workface start, your owner notes, log lines, the archive pointer), a tranche's log/ archive (one chunk per archive, plus log/README.md, the index), and one session marker per attached session at ~/.claude/workface/sessions/<session-id>.
  • Files it reads: the workfaces and markers under ~/.claude/workface/, and ~/.claude/sessions/ to show in Browse which sessions are running. It reads one environment variable, HOME, only to find ~/.claude, and reads no credentials, tokens or keys.
  • Programs it runs, each with fixed arguments: date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M' for the local time on log lines and owner notes; git -C <repo> log -n 50 --format=%ct for the commits-since count, in the session's repo and the repos a workface names; rm -f <marker> to delete this session's marker on /workface detach, and rm -f <tranche>/log.md once archive has copied a hand-kept log.md into the archive.
  • What it adds to the conversation: the workface right after each compaction summary and at startup or resume, labelled as automated context; a brief to the summarizer at compaction; one reminder to update the workface at 80% of the auto-compact threshold; one reminder to trim each time the workface goes over budget; and a line you asked about with ?, added once to your next prompt. It reads your prompts only to attach that ask, and watches the agent's Edit, Write and Bash calls only to redraw the panel after them.
  • What it keeps in its plugin store: the lines you omitted, the lines you wrote, and whether the panel opens on its own.

A workface is plain Markdown, and each session marker is one line holding the workface's path, so other tools and agents can read and keep the same tranche.

Make it yours

Workface is deliberately minimal, a notes file, compaction plumbing and a panel, and it is meant to be forked rather than configured. There are many ways to go further (decay of old lines, smarter pruning, per-agent notes, a different summarizer brief), and the seams are small, all in hooks/:

  • summarizerBrief in hooks/register.tsx: what the summarizer is told on every compaction.
  • PROTOCOL and workfaceMessage: what the agent is handed after compaction, on attach and on resume (the update and prune rules, the provenance label, the owner marks).
  • skeleton: the file /workface start writes.
  • The ui.render hook: the panel, built from the engine's Box, Text, Button and Input elements.
  • hooks/workface.ts: the pure text functions (parse, omissions, colour spans, owner notes, log), tested directly.
