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 guard & safety mods
package-guard
1LupusMalusDeviant/mod-box
Before Claude installs or runs a package (npm, pnpm, yarn, bun, npx, pip, uv, poetry, pipx, cargo), asks the public registry about it. Holds the command when the package does not exist (a made-up name), is under 14 days old, or looks like a well-known package and is young or thin (typosquatting). Allow in the band or with /pkg-allow.
push-guard
1finalpantasy/claude-mod-pack

safety-net
1TroyJLorents-GH/mod-squad
Blocks destructive tool calls before they run (force pushes, rm -rf outside the project, DROP TABLE, terraform destroy, writes to .env and keys, ...) and explains why.
