Found-Issues plugin logs bugs Claude ignores while working on other tasks

Found-Issues is a Claude Code plugin that solves a specific blindspot: coding agents (Claude included) often notice real bugs — missing null checks, leaked tokens, race conditions — while working on an unrelated task, then move on. The plugin logs those observations so they don't get lost.

How it works

The agent maintains a docs/found-issues.md file in each repo. When it spots something out of scope, it appends a one-line entry like:

- [open] 2026-05-08 src/auth.ts:88 — leaks token in error (suggested: redact)
- [fixed] 2026-05-06 lib/foo.py:42 — null check missing (PR: org/repo#41)

The closure loop is fully automated. Hooks detect when a PR addresses a logged entry and annotate it. When the PR merges, a background sync flips [open] to [fixed]. If a referenced line gets deleted, tombstone detection auto-closes it. The open-issue count appears at session start and in your statusline — no manual bookkeeping.

Installation

In Claude Code, run:

/plugin marketplace add AltDoug/claude-plugins
/plugin install found-issues

Then start a new session and run /found-issues:setup — it walks you through wiring the statusline counter so the open-issue count is always visible.

Who it's for

Developers who use AI coding agents and want to catch bugs the agent notices but doesn't fix because they're out of scope.
