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.

"This helper already exists": new functions are compared against a git-grep symbol index, Jev judges the look-alikes in a few hundred ms, and Claude hears about duplicates.
snapshots
2mako-code/gobworks
Whole-tree time travel: a git snapshot of every non-ignored file before each turn, with diff, restore and /undo, never touching HEAD, the index or the stash.
jev-precommit
2mako-code/gobworks
A commit gate that reads the staged diff in a blink: Jev flags debug output, commented-out code, TODOs, machine paths, secrets and off-message changes before Claude's git commit runs.
blast-radius
aecheman27-gif/claude-mods
Holds risky shell commands (rm -rf, git reset --hard, git clean, force push, migrations) and shows what they would change, with Proceed and Cancel buttons.
jev-express

vincentlauriat/ModsTools
Refuses git commit commands whose message subject is not a Conventional Commit (type(scope)!: subject, header within a length limit)
