Claude Code mod
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.

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.
