Claude Code mod
crabhud
Above the prompt: a crab that shows what Claude is doing, a progress bar for long jobs (also on its own from Claude's task list or an approved plan), and a HUD with model, effort, context, 5-hour and 7-day limits and cost, in seven bar styles (/crabhud style). Beside it: a live panel of subagents. Ships the /crab-flow skill and its five worker agents.

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.

crew
PeterTing/claude-mod
A resident product team in Claude Code, run from its own pane with buttons and fields, no command needed: a PM splits your PRD into features and acceptance criteria, QA writes a test case for each, a UI/UX designer writes a design for each feature that you approve on one page with the PRD draft and the roles' questions, a tech lead breaks the criteria into tasks and reviews the code, a full-stack agent builds the tasks on crew's own git branch and worktree, and crew runs your test command and maps the results to the test cases. Each role runs on Claude or Codex, from a floor you set, stepping up with how hard the work is. Gaps and product questions come back to you in the pane. A heartbeat looks after the work every five minutes, a restart asks before going on, and token reminders go to Claude, which acts on usage only as you allow. The board is held to the PRD as it stands. Memory lives in the repo. Work in progress.
