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.

More context & usage mods

context-meter

midudev/better-claude

The session's context window fill, right above the prompt: gray while there is room, yellow when it is time to /compact, red when a new session is better.

Context & usage mods/plugin install

cache-guard

2

Agulhas-Labs/claude-plugins

Warns once before a message that will cost far more than usual: a large Claude Code context whose prompt cache has expired, or a model or effort change that resets it. Shows the estimated cost, and offers a handoff file written by a cheap model in the background so you can /clear instead. While background work runs, it wakes an idle session just before its cache expires, so the result lands on a warm cache.

openai-balance

hamzafer/claude-code-mods

Your OpenAI API credit above the prompt: an estimated balance with a gauge, today's spend, where the money mostly went, and the last call. /openai-balance shows the breakdown.

Context & usage mods

taskcut

7

wasd96040501/taskcut

Compacts when the work moves on from one sub-task to the next instead of when the context window fills, including in the middle of a long turn. Once the context is past a floor, a model judges each step, reading what you asked for and where Claude has got to but never any tool output, for whether the work moves on from a finished piece to another; if it does, taskcut runs Claude Code's own compaction. Below the floor it does nothing and costs nothing.
