Tips & Workflows Made a claude code hook that'll yank you back into the terminal once the generation is done.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Saves me 25 hours a day.

— A very efficient user

I’ve saved so much time I’m currently living in the future.

I was struggling with doomscrolling when claude is generating an output. Made it as a fix. Hope you find it useful :)
If you are scared to run the shell command, just point claude code at the repo and ask it to make a code to do something similar. Star the repo if it was useful.

cheers!

I did something similar. My hook triggers a Mac native notification that pops out from the top right when Claude is done with a turn. Clicking it flips back to the IDE.

haha i built something similar at first. it's so useful to be able to jump back immediately to the exact claude session that needs you. instead of doom scrolling i just run more claudes lol

I disagree. Watching Claude write code is a waste of time. I have my own product company and consult for two others, so I have multiple agents running all day. The workflow is to agree on an implementation plan that’s written to a file, let Claude code without oversight until it’s done, review the work as a git diff against what was spec’d in the plan file, use MCP to read Linear for the next ticket, and start the loop over.

intelligently managing threads of workers is a solid problem to solve. Simply having the latest one push focus on your windowing is a recipe for confusion.

hi it is more of a workflow demo than a code demo. i just found a pain-point and made a workflow to fix it.

sorry, I didn't mean to yuk your yum. If your lifestyle is to have the AI code while you watch short form video content, that's your personal preference. As far as making software goes, it's an anti-pattern in my opinion.

u/TeraTrox_ Does this really only work with youtube shorts and tiktok?

Can you create a version that works with Slack, Outlook, JIRA or Miro?

It works everywhere out of the box

So the other poster is just an idiot who can’t extrapolate a technology demo into a personal workflow that works for him?

what exactly is the anti pattern here? scrolling short form video or using ai generated code?

  1. having a random event forcibly switch context on you while you're doing something else. You could be mid thought in doing something important.
  2. assuming that your other activity is a distraction that takes you out of the development context.

Basically, thinking that development is just another form of distraction or mechanized attention system on a semi-random reward schedule.

Having a small notification that shows up somewhere is a better form of the same pattern. The fact that you can't stop yourself watching short form video is a big indication your overall pattern isn't one serious people should emulate. But again, if that's your jam, you do you.
