Disclosure: My team built this plugin. It’s fully open-source and free. We’re the creators of VideoDB, the infrastructure powering it. My team has been deep in Claude Code for months, and we kept hitting the same wall. Error fires in the terminal → copy it → paste it into chat → wait → repeat. Or worse, screenshot your screen, drag it in, type “here’s what I see.” It works, but it completely breaks the flow of working with an agent that’s otherwise genuinely brilliant. So we built something to fix it — and we’re open-sourcing it today. Pair Programmer is a Claude Code plugin powered by VideoDB’s Capture SDK. When you trigger it, three streams activate in real time: Screen capture — live scene understanding of exactly what’s on your display Mic transcription — what you said, with intent tagging System audio — catches terminal errors, tutorial audio, whatever’s playing By the time you ask Claude a question, it already knows what’s on your screen and what just happened. You don’t paste anything. You don’t re-explain anything. Claude’s just… already there. Under the hood it’s three parallel capture streams, real-time multimodal indexing via VideoDB’s RTStream infrastructure, and structured AI-ready context delivered to Claude Code in under 2 seconds. We’ve been using it internally for a while and it’s genuinely changed how our team works with Claude Code. Felt like it was time to share it. Open source. Free. Easy install.
