Finch on a plain HTML site.

Finch works on Plain HTML sites with no extra setup: /finch-install finds the right place for it.

Install

Paste this into Claude Code, then run /finch-install in a new session in your project:

Claude Code
Add the Claude Code plugin finch@finch from the GitHub marketplace usefinch/notes (put it in my Claude Code settings if /plugin isn’t available here), then tell me how to load it and run /finch-install on this site.

Full steps are on the install page.

How Finch knows it’s Plain HTML
It looks for any .html files in the project, with no framework config.
Where the script goes
Just before </body> in each HTML file (usually index.html). That’s the only change to your site’s code.

Good to know

  • The HTML file is the source, so Claude can find exactly what each edit touched.
  • After an apply, the page refreshes itself into the new version.
