Claude Code mod

crab-cam

A crab above the prompt acts out what Claude is doing: reading, writing code, thinking, searching and more. A shell beside it shows context and rate-limit usage, and the Crab crew pane gives every subagent a crab of its own.

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.

idle-compact

ukwhatn/.claude

Compacts the main conversation once it has sat idle for idleMinutes, while the prompt cache is still warm, and hands every compaction of the main conversation (manual, auto, plugin, precompute) the Compact Instructions section of the user's AGENTS.md. Skips while a turn runs, below minMessageTokens of conversation, and past cutoffMinutes (a wake from sleep, when the cache has likely expired), saying which in the transcript; a reload of the plugin keeps the pending idle stretch.
