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.

crab-buddy

pvjbuilds/crab-buddy

An animated pixel-art Claude crab above your prompt that acts out what Claude Code is doing: thinking, reading, building (ten scenes), testing, debugging, web, subagents, git, installs, long turns, compacting, idle, dozing and night owl. 25 moods, 110 takes, each a 14 s scene with beats and emotes; it walks a stage in the desktop app and draws in block characters in the terminal. A caption of one-liners scrolls beside it; each look holds 8 s, so nothing flashes. Light and dark themes, reduce-motion aware. 0 tokens.
