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.

winnow
115GhalebDweikat/winnow

cache-tax
329karanb192/cache-tax

cache-clock
426hamzafer/claude-code-mods
A prompt-cache line under your status line, from Claude Code's own cache figures: time left while warm, hit rate and misses, and how many tokens the next message re-caches once cold. /cache-clock setup adds it.
agent-usage-guard

A Claude Code mod that holds subagent fan-out, heavy-context prompts and retry loops before they spend your usage window. It reads your plan's usage, counts agents across every session, and asks in Claude Code's own dialog.
