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.

lookout
1StartupBros-com/hov-marketplace
A second pair of eyes while Claude works. Every few model steps it asks one tool-less fork of the session (served from the prompt cache) whether there is something you should know and might miss, and shows the answer above the prompt. No model call while nothing draws the session.
litellm-key
1juninmd/cc-litellm
See your LiteLLM virtual key inside Claude Code: budget, spend, limits, expiry, models and recent usage. Admins can also create and edit keys, grant extra budget and read router fallbacks.
luna-pruner
1luancamara/luna-pruner
Context-size meter, noisy tool-output pruning and a cost audit for Claude Code, using OpenAI Decisions (gpt-6-luna).
limits-band
1burnrate-ai/burnrate
Band above the prompt: 5h/7d limits with reset timers, context fill, cache hit rate and what fills your context.
model-picker
1juampymdd/claude-code-model-picker
