Claude Image View is a mod for Claude Code that shows thumbnails of pasted images directly above the prompt instead of bare image tags.

The local-only mod makes no network requests and writes no files, reading only the session image cache. It is designed for developers using Claude Code on macOS or Linux with a terminal supporting the kitty graphics protocol like Ghostty or kitty. The mod requires Claude Code version 2.1.287 or later with support for mods.
