The docs have a guide to the Claude Code plugin, under Coding agents: installing it with the CLI it needs, what each hook records and what it never records (what a tool returned, Claude's replies, your files), the context Claude starts with, its skills and commands, what happens when the CLI is missing or signed out, opting out with G1T_RECORD_PROMPTS=0 or G1T_RECORD=0, moving off the earlier hook, and the AGENTS.md lines and MCP setup for Codex and other agents. Connect a coding agent, Sessions and why-blame, Integrations and llms.txt point to the plugin instead of the hook installer, and llms.txt no longer mentions the retired agents:run, models:read and models:write scopes. g1t.sh/install/claude.sh now prints the plugin's two commands and installs the g1t CLI only with --cli; it no longer edits ~/.claude/settings.json, so setup.mjs is gone. For anyone still on the earlier hook, it updates ~/.g1t/hook.mjs, which no longer remembers that a branch had no pull request (a session started before its pull request was never recorded), no longer sends what a tool returned, and keeps prompts back with G1T_RECORD_PROMPTS=0.

127+An agent with a shell can use the [g1t CLI](/guides/cli/) instead of the
128+tools, and claim the issue, record its session and hand off with it: the
129+lines for that are in
130+[other coding agents](/guides/claude-code-plugin/#other-coding-agents).
131+With Claude Code, the [plugin](/guides/claude-code-plugin/) does this for

150+With Claude Code, install g1t's plugin and every session in a g1t

151−a hook to `~/.claude/settings.json`. From then on, whenever Claude Code
152−works in a g1t pull request's working copy, your prompts, its tool calls
153−and its closing account are recorded onto that pull request's session as
154−they happen. It recognises a fork (`g1t.sh/pulls/<id>`) and a branch of a
155−g1t repository with an open pull request; anywhere else it does nothing.
156−It needs Node 18 or later, which Claude Code runs on.
158+Its hooks record your prompts, the tools Claude uses and what it called
159+them with, and its pushes, through the [g1t CLI](/guides/cli/). They never
160+send what a tool returned. The plugin also gives Claude the issue's work
161+context when a session starts, g1t's MCP server, and commands to claim and
162+hand off issues. See [Claude Code plugin](/guides/claude-code-plugin/) for
163+everything it records, and how to opt out.

2+title: Claude Code plugin
3+description: Install g1t's plugin for Claude Code, which records your sessions on g1t, gives Claude the issue's work context, and adds g1t's MCP server, skills and commands. What each hook records and never records, and how to opt out.
4+---
5+
6+g1t's plugin for Claude Code connects the sessions you run on your own
7+machine to the work on g1t. With it installed, working in a g1t repository:
8+
9+- each Claude Code session is recorded on g1t as a
10+ [session](/guides/why-blame/#sessions), attached to its issue and pull
11+ request, so the people and agents also working there can see it;
12+- Claude starts each session knowing the issue it is on: its definition of
13+ done, who has claimed it, its pull requests and what blocks it;
14+- Claude has g1t's [MCP tools](/reference/mcp/), three skills for working
15+ on issues, and the commands `/g1t:claim`, `/g1t:status` and
16+ `/g1t:handoff`.
17+
18+Your session runs where it always does. g1t keeps the record and the
19+coordination; nothing about how Claude Code runs changes.
20+
21+## Install
22+
23+You need Claude Code, Node 18 or later (Claude Code runs on it) and the
24+[g1t CLI](/guides/cli/), which the plugin's hooks use.
25+
26+1. Install the g1t CLI and sign in, if you have not:
27+
28+ ```sh
29+ curl -fsSL https://g1t.sh/install | sh
30+ g1t auth login
31+ ```
32+
33+ On Windows, `irm https://g1t.sh/install.ps1 | iex` installs it.
34+
35+2. Add g1t's plugin marketplace and install the plugin:
36+
37+ ```sh
38+ claude plugin marketplace add https://g1t.sh/flagon-io/g1t.git
39+ claude plugin install g1t@g1t
40+ ```
41+
42+ Or run `/plugin` inside Claude Code and choose the marketplace there.
43+
44+3. Start Claude Code again, run `/mcp` and choose **g1t** to sign g1t's
45+ MCP server in through your browser.
46+
47+`curl -fsSL https://g1t.sh/install/claude.sh | sh` prints the same
48+commands; add `-s -- --cli` to have it install the CLI too.
49+
50+The plugin works in any working copy whose git remote is on g1t.sh, or on
51+the host in `G1T_HOST` for a self-hosted g1t. Everywhere else its hooks do
52+nothing.
53+
54+## What it records
55+
56+The plugin's hooks call the `g1t` CLI, signed in as you, so a session is
57+recorded as yours and is as visible as the repository it is in.
58+
59+| When | The hook runs | What g1t receives |
60+| --- | --- | --- |
61+| A session starts or resumes | `g1t session start --harness claude_code --harness-session-id ID` | A session for this Claude Code session. Starting the same session again, as a resume does, finds it rather than making another. |
62+| You send a prompt | `g1t session log --kind prompt TEXT` | Your prompt's first 2,000 characters. |
63+| Claude uses a tool | `g1t session log --kind tool_call TEXT` | The tool's name and one line on what it was called with: the command, file, pattern or address, up to 200 characters, with anything that looks like a token or password replaced by `…`. |
64+| A `git push` reaches the remote | `g1t api update_session -f id=ID -f head_commit=SHA` | The commit you pushed, so the session's entries line up with the code. |
65+| Claude finishes a turn | `g1t session heartbeat` | That the session is still active, which also renews its claims. |
66+| The session ends | `g1t session end --reason REASON` | That it ended, and why: you exited, cleared it or logged out. |
67+
68+It never records:
69+
70+- what a tool returned: command output, file contents, search results and
71+ web pages are never read or sent;
72+- Claude's replies or reasoning;
73+- your files, environment or transcript.
74+
75+A session that stops sending heartbeats reads as idle after 15 minutes and
76+ended after two hours, so a closed laptop does not leave work looking
77+claimed.
78+
79+The hooks return at once: the CLI calls run in a background process, so a
80+slow network never holds Claude up.
81+
82+## The context Claude starts with
83+
84+When a session starts, the plugin looks for the issue it is working on:
85+the one the session claimed earlier, or a number in the branch's name
86+(`42-fix-login`, `issue-42`, `fix/42`). If it finds one, it runs
87+`g1t work context N` and gives Claude the answer: the issue and its
88+definition of done, its claims and sessions, its pull requests with their
89+checks and overlaps, what blocks it and what it blocks, the decisions
90+recorded on it and the last integration failure. If the answer takes longer
91+than a second, Claude is told to load it itself.
92+
93+With no issue in sight, Claude is told how to load and claim one.
94+
95+## Skills
96+
97+Claude uses a skill when the task matches it, or you can run one by name.
98+
99+| Skill | What it does |
100+| --- | --- |
101+| `/g1t:work-on-issue N` | Loads the issue's context, claims it, makes a branch named for it, opens a draft pull request early with `g1t pr create --issue N --draft`, does the work, watches the checks and merges, or adds the pull request to the [merge queue](/guides/merge-queue/). |
102+| `/g1t:fix-integration N` | For a pull request the merge queue failed together with others: reads the `integration.failed` event and the failing check, compares the other pull requests in the combination, fixes, pushes and queues it again. |
103+| `/g1t:coordinate N` | Follows the issue's events in the background with `g1t work events --follow --issue N`, and acts on another claim, an overlapping pull request, a change to what blocks it or an integration result as it happens. |
104+
105+## Commands
106+
107+| Command | What it does |
108+| --- | --- |
109+| `/g1t:claim N [note]` | Loads issue N's context and claims it for this session, telling you who else holds a claim. |
110+| `/g1t:status` | This session, and the repository's active claims and sessions. |
111+| `/g1t:handoff N [@login]` | Pushes what is unpushed, writes a hand-off note and hands the issue off, to anyone or to one person. |
112+
113+A claim says you are working on an issue. It is never a lock: a second
114+claim is allowed, and whoever makes it is told about the first.
115+
116+## When the CLI is missing or signed out
117+
118+If `g1t` is not installed, or not signed in, the hooks record nothing and
119+Claude Code says so once. The plugin never installs anything itself.
120+Install the CLI or run `g1t auth login`, and the next session is recorded.
121+
122+## Opt out
123+
124+| To | Do |
125+| --- | --- |
126+| Not send prompts | Set `G1T_RECORD_PROMPTS=0` in the environment Claude Code runs in. |
127+| Not record anything | Set `G1T_RECORD=0`. |
128+| Turn the plugin off for now | `claude plugin disable g1t@g1t` |
129+| Remove it | `claude plugin uninstall g1t@g1t` |
130+
131+To set one of these for every session, put it under `env` in Claude Code's
132+settings, for example in `~/.claude/settings.json`:
133+
134+```json
135+{ "env": { "G1T_RECORD_PROMPTS": "0" } }
136+```
137+
138+A recorded session can be read on the pull request's **Session** tab.
139+
140+## The earlier hook installer
141+
142+An earlier `curl -fsSL https://g1t.sh/install/claude.sh | sh` added a hook
143+of its own, `node ~/.g1t/hook.mjs`, to `~/.claude/settings.json`. The
144+plugin replaces it. Once the plugin is installed, remove those entries from
145+`~/.claude/settings.json` so a session is not recorded twice. Running the
146+installer again brings the old hook up to date and prints the plugin's
147+commands.
148+
149+## Other coding agents
150+
151+Agents without plugins use the same CLI commands from their instructions
152+file. Put this in the repository's `AGENTS.md`:
153+
154+```md title="AGENTS.md"
155+## Working on g1t
156+
157+This repository is on g1t. Other agents and people may be working in it at
158+the same time; the `g1t` CLI is how you see them and how they see you.
159+
160+- When you start, record a session: `g1t session start --harness codex`
161+ (or `cursor`, `copilot`, `other`: the harness you are). The CLI remembers
162+ it for this working copy. Run `g1t session heartbeat` every few minutes
163+ while you work, and `g1t session end` when you stop.
164+- Before working on an issue, load it with `g1t work context N`: its
165+ definition of done, who has claimed it, its pull requests, checks and
166+ overlaps, and what blocks it. Then claim it with
167+ `g1t work claim N --note "what you are about to do"`. If someone else
168+ holds a claim, say so before going on.
169+- Work on a branch whose name starts with the issue number
170+ (`42-short-description`), and open a draft pull request early:
171+ `g1t pr create --issue N --draft --fill`.
172+- Log decisions worth keeping with `g1t session log --kind note "TEXT"`.
173+ Never log secrets or command output.
174+- Run the repository's tests before each push, and watch the checks with
175+ `g1t pr checks --watch --fail-fast` (and `g1t run logs --failed` for why
176+ one failed). When the merge queue reports an integration failure, read
177+ it with `g1t work events --type integration.failed --issue N`, diff the
178+ other pull requests in the combination (`g1t pr diff OTHER`), fix, push
179+ and merge again.
180+- If you stop before the issue is done, hand it off:
181+ `g1t work handoff N --note "what is done, what is left"`.
182+```
183+
184+The same text is in the g1t repository at
185+`plugins/other-harnesses/AGENTS.snippet.md`.
186+
187+To give Codex g1t's MCP tools as well:

189+```sh
190+codex mcp add g1t --url https://mcp.g1t.sh
191+codex mcp login g1t
192+```
193+
194+or, in `~/.codex/config.toml`, with a token in `G1T_TOKEN` instead of
195+signing in through the browser:

197+```toml

130+ returned; pushes), gives Claude the issue's work context when a session
131+ starts, and adds g1t's MCP server and the `/g1t:claim`, `/g1t:status`
132+ and `/g1t:handoff` commands. Its hooks use the g1t CLI
133+ (`curl -fsSL https://g1t.sh/install | sh`, then `g1t auth login`). The
134+ person installs it:
131135
132136 ```sh
133− curl -fsSL https://g1t.sh/install/claude.sh | sh
137+ claude plugin marketplace add https://g1t.sh/flagon-io/g1t.git
138+ claude plugin install g1t@g1t
134139 ```

141+ `G1T_RECORD_PROMPTS=0` keeps prompts back; `G1T_RECORD=0` records
142+ nothing. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/claude-code-plugin/
143+
144+ Other agents with a shell record the same way with the CLI:
145+ `g1t session start --harness codex` when they start,
146+ `g1t work context N` and `g1t work claim N` before working on issue N,
147+ `g1t session log --kind note TEXT` for decisions, `g1t session heartbeat`
148+ while working, `g1t work handoff N --note TEXT` if they stop early, and
149+ `g1t session end` at the end.
