In Claude Code a pasted screenshot shows up as [Image #1]. After a few pastes I could no longer tell which was which, or show Claude the part I meant. paste-preview is a Claude Code mod (mods are early access, Claude Code 2.1.291+): - every [Image #N] shows as a thumbnail above the prompt, and sent messages keep theirs in the transcript (needs a terminal with the kitty graphics protocol, such as Ghostty or kitty) - an editor opens the moment you paste: pen, ellipse, box, arrow, text, crop, rotate - at Enter the original image is left out of the message and Claude reads the marked-up file instead On macOS the editor is a native floating panel kept warm in the background, so it appears the instant you paste, even over a full-screen terminal. On Linux and Windows it opens as a browser app window. Install from the prompt: /plugin install paste-preview --marketplace alan890104/claude-code-paste-preview MIT. I'd like to hear what breaks, especially on Linux and Windows.
