Claude Code mod

desktop-statusline

Status band above the prompt in the Claude Desktop app's Code tab: folder, git branch and state, session age, prompt count and cost, a context meter, 5-hour and weekly plan usage limit meters with reset countdowns, last-turn model, duration and cache hit rate, idle time against the prompt-cache TTL, compactions, server-side tool use, subagents by state, and one row per workflow run with live done/failed counts. A notification (or toast) at 80% and 95% of a usage limit. Draws only on the desktop surface, so a CLI statusLine is left alone.

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.
