Claude Code mod
recall
Makes past sessions recallable: indexes Claude Code and Codex transcripts, subagent runs, memory files, standing orders and second-opinion reviews into a local SQLite index (kept after Claude Code deletes old transcripts), gives Claude search, expand, recap and list tools, and adds /recall (search, last session, timeline, decisions, commands, files, PRs, ask), /remember, a pick-up-where-you-left-off band, a related-work band, and a per-session ledger (goal, open tasks, questions answered, files touched, PRs and commits) that comes back after a compaction and /recall ledger prints. Nothing calls a model except /recall ask: one call to the ask model per question, billed to your usage.

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.
