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.

read-cap
12VedantAndhale/claude-pro-kit
Stops Claude reading a file over 1,000 lines whole (with Read, cat or Get-Content) and gives it an outline tool (definitions with line numbers) so it reads only the range it needs. A retry still reads it whole.
copy-lint
AbyssCN/claude-lead-harness
After a Write/Edit to public copy (globs in the repo's .claude/copy-lint.json), checks banned words/phrases and heading punctuation and hints the model; never blocks the write.
gemini-advisor
12KilimcininKorOglu/claude-code-mods
Gives the model a Gemini advisor tool it calls by itself: Gemini reads the whole conversation and the model's message and answers with a second opinion. Off until /gemini-advisor on; gemini-core holds the key, tier, model and thinking level.
