Claude Auto Open — by PM

Opens every file the Claude agent edits or creates straight in the editor — the same way Antigravity's own agent does — then scrolls to the first change and briefly highlights the changed lines.

Works in Google Antigravity, VS Code, Cursor and any other VS Code–based editor.

Features

  • Auto-opens a file the moment Claude writes to it (Edit / Write tools)
  • Opens new files Claude creates
  • Highlights changed lines for a few seconds and scrolls to the first change
  • Keeps focus in the Claude chat panel, and never covers the chat tab
  • Ignores your own saves, and skips bulk changes (git checkout, composer/npm install, builds)
  • Skips vendor, node_modules, writable, .git, logs and binary files (images, videos)
  • Status-bar toggle: click 👁 Claude Auto Open to turn it on/off

Commands

  • Claude Auto Open: Toggle On/Off
  • Claude Auto Open: Show Recently Edited Files
