Every time you save a file, the plugin grabs your unstaged git diff, pipes it to claude -p with a customizable prompt, and renders the findings as native IntelliJ annotations with gutter icons. Basically turns Claude Code into a real-time code reviewer inside your IDE. How it works:
- On save: gets git diff for the file
- Background thread: runs claude -p with your prompt + the diff
- Claude returns line:SEVERITY: message format
- Plugin renders BUG/WARNING/INFO as colored underlines + gutter icons Content-hash caching means it won’t call Claude again if the file hasn’t changed. The prompt is fully configurable with ${FILE} and ${PROJECT} variables — so you can tell Claude to focus on security, performance, style, or whatever you care about. Links:
