Ask Claude for many things at once.
Claudopus is an add-on for Claude Code. Ask for a bug fix, then the tests, then the docs, without waiting. Each one runs in the background, and a panel beside the chat shows how each is going.
What changes when you install it.
Without it: Your next ask waits until Claude is done.
With Claudopus: Your next ask starts right away.
Without it: You open more chats and lose track of them.
With Claudopus: One panel beside the chat shows every job.
Without it: A long chat forgets what you said at the start.
With Claudopus: Your words are saved, so Claude can look them up.
Without it: The result you wanted is buried far up the chat.
With Claudopus: Every result is kept in a list.
A panel beside the chat shows every job.
See where each job stands.
Every job is a card with its to-do list and a line saying what it is doing now.
Change a job while it runs.
Say something about a running job, and your message goes to that job.
Know when a job is done.
A short chime and a notification tell you, so you can be somewhere else.
Find every result later.
Finished jobs stay in a list with their results, and you can open it any time.
Install it with two lines.
Type them at the Claude Code prompt, in a terminal.
It needs a recent Claude Code, and it adds its author's working principles to every chat.
/plugin marketplace add dimka3553/claudopus/plugin install claudopus@claudopusAnswer y to add the marketplace, then press Enter to pick the first choice, the user scope. That is all. Nothing has to be typed in each chat.
In the Claude desktop app
Click + next to the prompt box, then Plugins. Add a marketplace with dimka3553/claudopus, then add the plugin named claudopus.
From a shell
claude plugin marketplace add dimka3553/claudopusclaude plugin install claudopus@claudopusIf the short form fails over SSH
Use the full address in its place:
https://github.com/dimka3553/claudopus.git
What you see afterwards
- Claudopus is on in every chat you open from then on, in every folder.
- You send a message. The chat answers in one line, starts the job in the background, and is free for your next message.
- The panel opens beside the chat by itself the first time work starts in that chat. If you close it, it stays closed for that chat, and
/claudopusopens it again. - A short band above the prompt says what is being done right now.
- When a job finishes, the chat passes on its result, and the panel lists it under Finished.
Good to know before you install.
It adds its author's principles
Claudopus adds its author's working principles to every chat, and they shape how Claude answers. They are short rules, such as giving short replies and bringing solutions before questions. Read the principles before you install.
It can ask for your Mac's password
When a job needs an admin command, a box asks you once for that Mac's password and hides what you type. The password stays in that Mac's keychain, and the job never sees it.
It needs
- Claude Code 2.1.287 or newer in the terminal, or the desktop app 2.1.286 or newer.
- Claude Code 2.1.299 or newer for the panel to draw in VS Code.
- Access to the model the chat picks for each job: Opus for most, Sonnet for long legwork, Fable only for heavy work.
- The panel's Stats tab reads Claude's records with
jq, which macOS 15 and later include.
Where it works, and where it does not
- It has been seen working in the macOS desktop app.
- The terminal and VS Code have not been tried yet.
- It does not work on Windows under WSL, because plugins do not load there.
- It does not work where your organization's admins block mods.
- In
claude -pprint mode and in cloud sessions there is no panel.
You can turn it off
Type /plugin disable claudopus@claudopus at the prompt. The same line with enable turns it back on, and with uninstall it is removed.
Your memory folder is left in place.
