Claude Code mod
context-view
The context window as one row above the prompt, drawn the way Claude Code draws its own meters: the context's cells, the percentage used, the tokens over the window, and the tokens left before auto-compact. /context-view hides and shows it. With the awareness option on, Claude itself reads the same figures in a line after your prompts and its tool results, from the point you set, such as 400k tokens.

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.
