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.

model-router
Akurganow/model-router
Routes each subagent to a Claude model and effort that fits its task, judged by Jev. For each routed Agent call it sends the task text and the agent's description, cut to 500 characters and with secrets masked, to api.typesafe.ai, openrouter.ai or both, as its provider option allows, each with its own key. The scope option picks the calls: core routes the four built-in agents, extended also routes user, project and plugin agents and sends their text. A config tool opens the plugin's own dialog to change both options. A key set as an environment variable is visible to every process Claude Code starts.
