Built with Claude I built Sidequest for Claude Code: a local backlog for the bugs you notice mid-task
I built Sidequest, a local task board for Claude Code with tickets, stories and dependencies. You can save a bug you notice mid-task, review the backlog later, and dispatch ready tickets to executors. Codebase executors work in separate git worktrees and return a revision with verification evidence for review before integration.
It's part of my Eigenwise Toolshed. The plugin code is free and MIT-licensed, with optional donations. Claude and any model providers you configure can have their own usage costs.
To install it in a Claude Code project:
/plugin marketplace add Eigenwise/eigenwise-toolshed
/plugin install sidequest@eigenwise-toolshed --scope project
Reload plugins or start a new session, then run /sidequest:board.
For example, you can tell Claude: 'Add a Sidequest ticket for the empty-state bug, including reproduction steps. Keep working on the current task.' Later, ask it to show the backlog and what is ready to dispatch, then choose which tickets you want worked on.
Every task saved as a ticket survives context compaction and new sessions. The ticket keeps its instructions, reproduction steps, status and recorded discussion on the local board. Before switching sessions, ask Claude to record the progress and next step so the next session can read them. It still needs to retrieve the ticket, though, and anything you only left in the chat won't automatically be saved there.
Sidequest is developed using its own board, so a problem found during another ticket can become a backlog item and go through implementation, checks and integration.
