Hey everyone,
Quick preview for Tuesday. Alongside whatever discussions and rabbit holes we get into on the call, I've got a short show & tell segment I'm looking forward to.
Lately I've been using Claude's Cowork mode as my dev project manager, it tracks my projects, remembers context between sessions, knows my stack, my terms, my priorities. It's basically become the place where I think, plan, and build. In fact, the post you're reading right now was drafted there.
One of the things that came out of that workflow is a Claude Code plugin ecosystem I've been putting together. That's what I'll be walking through:
CC-StatusLine: a plugin that gives you a live dashboard in your Claude Code session. Context window usage with a color-coded progress bar, session cost, git info, model details, all at a glance.
cmux-plugin: hooks Claude Code into the cmux terminal. Auto-named workspaces, completion notifications, live progress bars, browser splits. Knows when to stay silent if you're not running cmux.
patchoutech-plugins, the branded marketplace that ties it all together. One command to add, one command to install. I'll show how the registry works and how you can spin up your own.
If you've been curious about how Claude Code plugins work, hooks, skills, commands, the whole structure or you just want to see what it looks like when you let an AI help you manage the whole dev cycle from planning to shipping, this should be a fun one.
See you Tuesday!
