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
UsageBreakdown
2Heuwzen/claude-runway
Shows what uses up your Claude limits: tokens by model, by main chat versus agents, and by project, across every chat on this Mac
usagemeter
2Elesiann/usagemeter
A /usagemeter pane with cost, tokens and plan limits across Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Antigravity, read from local history and a CLIProxyAPI hub.
usage-panel
2andrewbakercloudscale/claude-code-cost-sidebar
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
vigil
2revenantworks/claude-skills
Revenantworks dashboard mod for Claude Code 2.1.287+: which skills are enabled and how each fires (slash or automatic), failures, likely misroutes, tokens and cost by skill; the 5-hour, weekly, context and cache meters on the status line; health (mods loaded, hook drift, gatewarden's event counts); background tasks; optional research, GPU-lease, Godot and PR panels; and a suggestion queue that proposes, never builds. /rw-vigil opens it; Claude reads it only through vigil_read. Counts only, never text; counts stay in this session until /rw-vigil records on.
usage-meter-mod
2wendyyyanto/usage-meter-mod
A band above the message input that shows, at a glance, how close you are to your usage limits and how full the context is. It is a mod for Claude Code and the Claude desktop app's Code tab.
jev-context
8HyunjunJeon/jev-context
Jev keeps the context window lean so compaction comes later: prunes tool output on entry, caps subagent reports, carries exact facts across compaction, compacts when the cache is cold.
