chat-bookmarks

A Claude Code mod for starring paragraphs in Claude's replies and keeping them in a side pane.

  • Hover a paragraph in a reply and click the ☆ at its right edge to favorite it (★ once marked).
  • The Favorites pane lists each favorite as a card: expand it to read the text, with code blocks highlighted.
  • Add your own tags, filter by type (code, list, text…) or tag, and search.
  • Favorites are saved per session, so reopening a session brings them back.
  • /bookmarks opens the pane.

In the terminal, clicking a favorite scrolls the chat back to it. The desktop Code tab doesn't let mods scroll the chat, so there the card opens in place instead.

Load it

Point Claude Code at this folder, for every session, in ~/.claude/settings.json:

"env": {
  "CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_DIRS": "C:\\path\\to\\chat-bookmarks"
}

Or for one terminal session:

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/chat-bookmarks
