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 context & usage mods
mission-control
7h-zahran/delivery-kit
A side pane with robots: the main loop, every subagent and its tools, context, cost, rate limits and files touched
taskcut
7wasd96040501/taskcut
Compacts when the work moves on from one sub-task to the next instead of when the context window fills, including in the middle of a long turn. Once the context is past a floor, a model judges each step, reading what you asked for and where Claude has got to but never any tool output, for whether the work moves on from a finished piece to another; if it does, taskcut runs Claude Code's own compaction. Below the floor it does nothing and costs nothing.
defer-artifact
7zhebil/claude-code-plugins
Puts the Artifact tool behind tool search, so its ~12k-token schema loads only in sessions that publish an artifact.
openai-balance
426hamzafer/claude-code-mods
Your OpenAI API credit above the prompt: an estimated balance with a gauge, today's spend, where the money mostly went, and the last call. /openai-balance shows the breakdown.
context-band
7Tekkiiiii/the-agency
Band above the prompt: context %, tokens, model, cost, prompt-cache size/share/TTL countdown, 5h and weekly usage-window reset timers and next-request estimate; /ctx opens a detail pane; toast when a background subagent finishes; Jev router line (today's calls, tokens, USD, Haiku fallback) and outage warning, hidden unless the router usage log exists
context-meter
240midudev/better-claude
The session's context window fill, right above the prompt: gray while there is room, yellow when it is time to /compact, red when a new session is better.
