Claude Code mod

handoff

One of four animated helpers (paperclip, wizard, dog, cat; dots under it switch, the choice is kept) beside the band above the prompt on desktop, a one-line face in the terminal: calm / worried / panic by context fill, with random Ukrainian remarks; /handoff puts /active-memory:amhandoff into the input box (the hud band has its button). VS Code: a hint after the answer from 80%.

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.
