iterm-notify

A macOS add-on that sends desktop notifications and manages the badge shown in iTerm2, a terminal application for macOS. It responds to Claude Code lifecycle events, such as changes while an agent is running.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for terminal-based development sessions where you want desktop alerts or an iTerm2 badge tied to Claude Code events.
Why use it?
It helps you notice agent activity without keeping the terminal window in view. The iTerm2 badge also provides a quick visual status indicator.

Grade A, and why

iterm-notify scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
