How Claude Code mods work
- A mod is a plugin with a JavaScript or TypeScript module that runs inside Claude Code (version 2.1.287 or later). It can draw panes beside the transcript, a band above the prompt, buttons and toasts, restyle the spinner and tool rows, and watch or rewrite tool calls and prompts.
- It installs like any plugin: add its marketplace with /plugin marketplace add owner/repo, then /plugin install name@marketplace.
- Check what a mod can reach before installing: it runs with your permissions. Reach goes from drawing only, to reading files, to writing files or running processes, to the network. Run claude plugin validate on a clone to list its hooks and calls without running it.
- Turn one off from the Installed tab in /plugin, or start Claude Code with --safe-mode to skip every customization for a session.

wavy-usage
5BatuhanCakmakk/wavy-usage
Liquid-filled rings above the Claude Code prompt for the 5-hour and 7-day limit windows, context fill and prompt-cache lifetime, a fighter jet that shows the model's effort, and a pane of recent turns, their cost, their share of the 5-hour window and what filled it.
cost-ledger
4FynnXland/fynn-mods
Cost ledger across all chats: after every answer it records the chat cost (as /cost), tokens per model and model calls made by other mods. /ledger shows today, 7 and 30 days, total, history by model (days or weeks), projects and the most expensive chats; /ledger limits shows the API value in the current 5-hour and weekly window and in your subscription month, plus an estimate of the usage outside the ledger (claude.ai, phone); /ledger sync <folder> merges your devices through a shared folder (amounts only: no paths, projects or chat titles); /ledger help lists all commands, the current state and your settings. Observer only, no model calls.
vitals
5naicud/cc-vitals
A light, framed live dashboard above the prompt, in the terminal and in the desktop app: model and effort, context and account-wide plan-limit meters (5-hour, weekly, per model, usage credits), cost and burn rate, tokens and cache per turn and session, auto-compaction, live tools, background shells and every subagent with its model and effort, plus weekly and monthly usage and the account's plan limits by product. Two columns on wide terminals, sized to the rows it has, never scrolling. Requires ccusage (npm i -g ccusage) for the usage section. /vitals-low, /vitals-medium and /vitals-high set the detail level; /vitals pane full view, /vitals report usage report.
crab-cam
4sTomerG/agent-kit
A crab above the prompt acts out what Claude is doing: reading, writing code, thinking, searching and more. A shell beside it shows context and rate-limit usage, and the Crab crew pane gives every subagent a crab of its own.
