Claude Code mod

usage-panel

The usage panel in a sidebar inside Claude Code: this session, today, the last 30 days, projects, top sessions, the day's costliest turns with why each was dear, what pauses cost in cache written again, and insights, with graphs, and, where Claude Burst is installed, the context it really sends by part and Plan Utilisation: how much of the plan's 5-hour and weekly limits is used and which projects used it, with a warning as one gets close. /usage-panel opens it, /usage-panel pin and /usage-panel unpin choose whether every session opens it

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.
