{"i":0,"repo":"dev-gav/claude-live-preview","stars":1,"lang":"JavaScript","ok":true,"char_count":1947,"text":"This is a plugin for Claude Code, which is a tool for working with an AI assistant called Claude. The plugin is called live-preview, and it does one simple thing: every time Claude finishes writing a response, that response gets displayed in a nicely formatted view. You can see it in your web browser or inside your code editor, and the view updates automatically without you needing to refresh anything.\n\nTo use it, you need Claude Code with plugin support and Node.js version 16 or higher installed on your computer. If you want to use the editor mode, you also need your editor's command line tool available. Installation involves adding the plugin marketplace and then installing the plugin through Claude Code's slash command system, followed by a restart or reload.\n\nOnce installed, you get a single command that controls everything. You can turn automatic mirroring on or off, choose whether to view responses in a browser or your editor, check the current status, change the port number, and decide how many past responses to keep browsable. You can also just ask Claude in plain language to push a response to your preview or turn the live view on or off, and it will understand.\n\nIn browser mode, a small local server runs on your machine and sends updates to a web page. The page renders markdown text cleanly, follows your light or dark theme preference, and lets you page backward through recent responses without losing your place when a new one arrives. In editor mode, the response is written to a file that your editor can display and update in real time. The plugin keeps a history of past responses as plain markdown files on your computer.\n\nUnder the hood, a hook fires whenever Claude finishes responding, captures the final message, and pushes it to whichever viewer you have configured. The hook is designed to never interfere with Claude Code itself, and all errors are logged quietly. The plugin stores its configuration and history in a folder within your Claude Code directory.","error":null}
