Please install the Claude Code mod "GitHub Actions Pane" (https://github.com/blackpaw-studio/claude-plugins). Before installing, read the Security and Requirements sections of its README and tell me what it reads and writes, which commands it runs, whether it uses the network, and which Claude Code version, OS and terminal it needs. If everything looks fine, run claude plugin marketplace add blackpaw-studio/claude-plugins and claude plugin install github-actions-pane@blackpaw-plugins, then remind me to run /reload-plugins in my session.

Introduction

github-actions-pane is a Claude Code mod that shows your GitHub Actions runs in a pane beside the transcript, drawn like GitHub's run view: jobs, the running job's steps, status icons and live durations.

A band above the prompt says what is running (⟳ 2 running · ~3m left) or what failed; where the pane cannot seat, the status line says it.
/actions opens or closes the pane and switches scope (commit, branch, repo); auto-open is optional. Failed jobs collapse to the failed step; click a run to open it with gh run view --web.
Time left is the median of the workflow's last 10 successful runs.
It polls via gh (10 s active, 60 s idle) and runs a local git rev-parse every 5 s to catch pushes.

Requires Claude Code 2.1.296+ (the tested build), a logged-in gh, and a checkout with a GitHub remote. Mods are early access.

Who it is for

People who want to watch CI without leaving Claude Code after a push
People who want to see at once which job and step failed

Requirements

Claude Code ≥ 2.1.296
Requires gh installed and logged in (gh auth login) and a GitHub remote.
An auto-opened pane needs 144+ columns; narrower, the status line shows runs.
The pane body draws only in the terminal; mods are early access.
