Claude Code mod
baton
Compacts at the hand-off between tasks (a wrap-up, shipped work, a natural break), never mid-task, with a hand-off summary, and warns when the prompt cache has gone cold. The deck band shows it.

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.

handoff
Joseph-Ayoub/claude-mods
/handoff: a handoff note written from this session (secret shapes redacted) under ~/.claude/handoffs/, the conversation cleared, the next prompt pre-filled to continue from the note. What mem-gauge's Hand off button and the cockpit chip run.
project-brain
5Plagemes/claude-mods
A self-organising project memory that learns which decisions, conventions and fixes matter and recalls them like a neural network.
handoff
Recokioshi/claude-kit
Hand work to another session or repo without copy-paste: /handoff writes a note from facts it gathers itself (branch, commits, PRs, worklog) plus a six-section narrative from a fork of the conversation, saves it under ~/.claude/handoffs, copies it, and /handoff pick inserts it in the other session; a waiting note for this repo shows as a toast.
handoff-relay
3drdickgraysonjr/chalkery
A Handoff button above the prompt: runs /handoff and lights up from 180k tokens of context (the threshold option). Joins cache-meter and next-steps in one band.
house-rules
stylusnexus/claude-mods
Checks goal-checklist strips, and optionally the closing status line and the conventional-commit title rule.
