Claude Code mod
spotter
Spotter: a Claude Code dashboard by Steady Matter. It watches the work and counts the steps. A progress bar above the prompt, a row per helper agent with a pixel Pal that hatches and grows as the agent works, and a headline for the last reply. Built on Flightdeck by Stephen Casella (MIT); the bar's look is adapted from savvy-progress by johnnyvizz. The Pals are unofficial Palworld fan art, not affiliated with Pocketpair.

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 pane & dashboard mods
spec-flow
2IgnacioMarin402/spec-flow-plugin
Ships a feature only when a test that actually ran proves every requirement in its spec. Free-text requirement -> spec (you sign it off) -> plan -> review -> implement per milestone, gated by a lint/test/spec-trace loop that runs outside the model. For Node projects; your repo declares its test and lint commands in .spec-flow/config.json, which `spec-flow init` writes.
streams
2macleodlabs-ai/claudeflow
Untangles the interleaved work in a Claude Code session (prompts, mid-turn asides, subagents, loops) into colour-coded streams with a live navigator pane, a status bar of pills and per-stream focus.
skills-band
2codehamster69/skills-band
One-row skills band above the prompt: theme-colored labels, Claude-orange dots on active skills and caveman/ponytail modes
subagent-tree
2bobtat/claude-plugins
A live /agents-tree pane showing the session's subagents as a tree — status, how long each has run, its tool calls and steps, the tool it is on now and the output tokens it used
sidebar
2llkhacquan/claude-mods
Shows every live Claude Code session as a card in a side pane: title, status, current tool, git branch, model, context use and a last-turn recap. No tmux or daemon needed; in tmux a card's hotkey jumps to that session's pane
subagent-tuner
2Kruhlikau/subagent-tuner
Picks the model and reasoning effort of every subagent: a recommendation by task kind, a band above the prompt, and a saved default that wins. Needs Claude Code 2.1.295 or later.
