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.

More context & usage mods

headroom

vihrea1337/headroom

Headroom: rate-limit countdowns and a burn-rate forecast for Claude Code. When each window resets, whether it lasts at this pace, alerts at 80/95% and on reset, a session budget, a week of history and a clickable prompt log

Context & usage mods/plugin install

hud

Samarth2001/claude-plugins

A live usage cockpit above the prompt: context, plan limits with pace forecasts, and cost by day, week and month, in a one-line glance that expands into tabs and a dashboard pane

Context & usage mods/plugin install

headroom

MWEJ/claude-code-headroom

Your Claude plan limits, a forecast of when you'll run out, and your context window, live in a band above the prompt. Compacts in one click, automatically, or when Claude picks the moment, and keeps the prompt cache warm

Context & usage mods/plugin install

idle-compact

benredmond/idle-compact

Compacts an idle session just before its prompt cache expires, so returning does not re-write the full context

Context & usage mods/plugin install

gear

moelahmady/jev-model-router

Routes each turn's reasoning effort with TypeSafe's Jev decision model, keeping the prompt cache (Claude Code 2.1.280+). Model routing is available but off by default and refused above maxSwitchTokens, since a model switch re-writes the whole context.

Context & usage mods

idle-compactor

ymnao/dotfiles

Compacts an idle Claude Code session shortly before its 1-hour prompt cache expires, so coming back later re-sends a short summary instead of the whole conversation uncached.
