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
hud
1BedirYilmaz/claude-crt-hud-mod
A CRT-style status panel above or below the prompt: model, project and git, context with a compact button, plan usage, prompt cache, cost and running tools. /hud toggles it.
idle-compact
1benredmond/idle-compact
Compacts an idle session just before its prompt cache expires, so returning does not re-write the full context
headroom
1vihrea1337/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
idle-compactor
1ymnao/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.
headroom
1MWEJ/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
idlecrash
1grozoww/idlecrash
Crash with fake tokens against other people who are also waiting for Claude: in a pane, in a terminal and in the desktop app.
