Her: the detective that reads your Claude code and tells you where you went wrong

Her is an open-source tool that plays detective in your Claude workflow. It's not a boring syntax checker — it's more like having a colleague who reads your code in real time and tells you if you're going off the rails. Perfect if you work on complex projects and want to understand whether the model is actually following your logic or just winging it.

The idea is straightforward: while you write code using Claude, Her monitors what's happening, tracks the decisions the model makes, and hands back a report that actually makes sense. It's not magic, it's pure DebugTherapy — the kind of thing you wish you had when you discover your project doesn't work the way you imagined.

Here's the interesting part: Her is built as a small model, not a GPU-hungry beast. This means you can run it locally, on your laptop, without selling a kidney to the cloud provider. It's a hackathon project — one of those moments where someone says 'what if we tried something sensible?' and actually does it.

Practical use case? You're doing a pair programming session with Claude on a complex algorithm? Her shows you exactly what shortcuts the model is taking, where it's thinking wrong, where it's nailing it. Transparency without the buzzwords.

This is the stuff that's actually missing from most workflows: not a hyped tool, but one that solves a real problem. While everyone's talking about AGI and stratospheric promises, someone did the opposite — they took the issue 'I don't understand if Claude is actually grasping my code' and said 'let's build something small and useful that fixes this'.

The best part? It's open source. No gatekeeping, no weird licenses. If you want to peek inside, audit how it works, improve it — go ahead. The community is already using it and extending it.
