Claude Code mod
standing-orders
Keeps the instructions you give Claude ("never…", "from now on…", "in this project…") as standing orders for the project or the session, offered in a band above the prompt, and hands them back to Claude after every compaction or /clear, with the active /goal. No model calls.

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 memory & instructions mods
memory-lint
1MDmubarak786/claude-mods
Know whether your auto-memory index loaded whole. Reports the index's size against a limit you set at every session start, names the entries past the cut, and warns when a session pushes it over.
honest-exit
pourya7/claude-code-mods
Make silent shell failures loud: a glob that matched nothing, a command missing from the agent's shell, or a pipe that hid a failing exit status gets a note the model reads and a peach pixel-art toast.
handoff
5partalemre/MODZ
Before the context window fills, writes a handoff note and hands it once to your next fresh chat in this repo
session-pins
1Akash001uts/claude-mods
Pin notes to a session: /pin keeps them on show above the prompt and in Claude's system prompt, so they hold through compaction and come back on resume
downloads-drop
2joeldg/claude-mods
Notices files that land in Downloads while you work (PDFs, 3MF models, images, notes) and offers them in a band above the prompt: Attach puts @"path" mentions in the prompt box, Dismiss clears them. /downloads lists the newest files and attaches any by number. No model calls.
auto-model
aecheman27-gif/claude-mods
Picks the model per prompt with local rules: quick questions to Haiku, writing and explaining to Sonnet, building and fixing to Opus. The whole conversation always goes along; it switches only when the other model's prompt-cache re-read costs little.
