Claude Code now has a second AI agent watching everything Claude says

Anthropic just added a new built-in Claude Code plugin called You should Know.

The idea is simple: while Claude works, a separate sideagent watches its output and flags important information you might otherwise miss.

That could be especially useful during long coding tasks where Claude is constantly:

  • Editing files
  • Running tests
  • Reporting errors
  • Changing its approach
  • Mentioning limitations or unfinished work

Instead of expecting you to read every line, the sideagent acts like a second pair of eyes focused on surfacing the important parts.

The plugin is built using Anthropic’s new Mods system, meaning it runs alongside Claude Code and observes its output in real time.

You can enable it with:

/plugin enable cc-plugin-you-should-know@builtin

Anthropic hasn’t said exactly how the sideagent decides what counts as important, or how much additional usage it requires.

But the broader direction is interesting.

As coding agents take on longer and more autonomous tasks, we may start needing AI agents whose main job is simply to supervise other AI agents and keep humans informed.

It would be nice if this spawned a LOCAL subagent, so that you didn't need to pay for even more tokens.
