Requirements

  • Claude Code CLI - You must have the Claude Code CLI installed and available in your PATH.
  • Python 3 - Required for terminal emulation (PTY bridge).

Disclosures

  • Network access - Claude Code CLI connects to Anthropic's API to process requests. All network communication is handled by the Claude Code CLI, not this plugin directly. See Anthropic's privacy policy for details.
  • External file access - This plugin spawns the Claude Code CLI process with your vault's root directory as the working directory. Claude Code may read and modify files within and outside your vault as directed by your prompts.
  • External process - This plugin spawns a Python process for terminal emulation and the Claude Code CLI as a child process.
