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.

toolmarks
21ersinkoc/claude-mods
KOZMOS Toolmarks: badges on tool rows. Each finished call gets a family-colored glyph and its duration at the row's end, Bash calls their exit status, failed calls a red mark, and a folded group its total time and failures. /toolmarks toggles them.
claim-check
tylergraydev/cc-mods
Flags confident claims about prod, data, deployments and tickets that no query backed up in the same turn (heuristic)
resonance
21ersinkoc/claude-mods
KOZMOS Resonance: a synthesized soundscape for the session. A soft tick per tool, a bonk on failures, a gong after long turns, a bell when a subagent finishes, an alarm when a rate-limit window crosses 80% or 95%, a chime on the first turn. /resonance mutes.
lean-scripts
bahaospanov/skills
Scripts worth keeping: scripts-review asks Haiku whether a new script could just be typed again when needed.
turn-summary
1angomedia/claude-mods
Sums up each reply: how long it took, how many tools Claude used, and which files changed by how many lines
retry-analyzer
oleksandrkodua/qa-mods
Detects Claude repeating the same failing tool call (3+ identical failures, or 4+ with the same error) and tells it to change strategy and tell the user. Never blocks.
