time

time draws the moment you sent each message above it in Claude Code. The time is taken at the message’s first drawing and kept per message, so a resize or a redraw of the screen does not change it. It costs no tokens and makes no network calls.

Install

Needs Claude Code 2.1.287 or later.

claude plugin marketplace add diegorv/claude-functions-hook
claude plugin install time@claude-function-hooks

Nothing to run or configure: once the plugin is loaded, every message you send gets its time above it. The marketplace also ships the same author’s gh-ci-status.

How it works

One hook on ui.render, filtered to the UserMessage component. On a message’s first drawing it reads the time from $.clock.now(), stores it in memory keyed by the message id, and returns the rendered message with that time above it. Nothing is written to disk.

Limitations

• A resumed session, or a reload of the plugin, draws old messages with the current time instead of the time they were sent.
• Draws only in interactive sessions; the author documents the terminal.
• The repository has no LICENSE file, so the code is published without a stated license.
