Stash Pad
Capture todos and ideas without breaking your flow.
A Claude Code skill for quick task management during coding sessions. Type :a fix the bug and keep working—organize later.
The Problem
You're deep in a coding session. An idea hits. A bug surfaces. A todo pops into your head.
Old way: Switch context, open a notes app, lose your train of thought.
Stash Pad: Type :a your thought and keep coding. Classify everything later with :c.
Quick Demo
You: :a add user authentication
Claude: Added to inbox.
You: :add websockets; caching; fix login bug
Claude: Added 3 items to inbox.
You: :c
Claude: Classified 4 items:
Features (2) - auth, websockets
Improvements (1) - caching
Bug Fixes (1) - login bug
You: :d auth
Claude: ✓ Marked "add user authentication" complete

Roadmap
- Core todo management (
:add,:done,:classify) - Search and restore functionality
- Batch entry support
- Plugin version — Slash commands (
/stash:add), tab completion, marketplace distribution - MCP integration — Sync with external tools (planned)
Why I Built This
I can't in good conscience call myself a "vibe coder" because while I can read code and follow along I can't actively write code, so I don't think the 'coder' part is fitting. While working on another project I needed to capture ideas and I didn't really like the other options I had at the moment (Notes.app, TextEdit, etc...) but with my ADHD mind I knew I needed something fast and PRESENT. Working with Claude Code CLI, I quickly created ver. 1.0 in the middle of the other project. It's not fancy but it works for me and I hope someone else can use it too.
