Claude Code mod

idle-compact

Come back to big chats for less. When a large chat (150k+ tokens) has been idle for 25 minutes, it is compacted while the prompt cache is still warm, so picking it up later is cheap. The summary keeps your last request, open tasks, decisions, file paths, commands and errors.

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.

limits

7

Ryan-LT/claude-mods

Never get surprised by a rate limit again. An always-on band above the prompt shows your 5-hour and weekly Claude usage with live bars, reset countdowns and context-window fill. It turns red when your pace will run out before the reset, and warns you at 75%, 90% and 100%.

zhebil/claude-code-plugins

Puts the Artifact tool behind tool search, so its ~12k-token schema loads only in sessions that publish an artifact.
