Claude Code mod

Measures a command: warmup and timed runs, median/p95/stddev and outliers, two commands compared or a saved baseline per project, and a pane with a block distribution plot. Bounded, one at a time, never during Claude's turn unless Claude asked.

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.

reread-guard
12VedantAndhale/claude-pro-kit
Stops Claude re-reading a file it already read in this conversation, with Read or a plain cat, sed -n, head, tail or Get-Content, when the file has not changed since; a deliberate second attempt still goes through.
mermaid-inline
