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.

warm-compact
ziedgithub/claude-code-mods
Compacts an idle session just before its prompt cache goes cold, or keeps the cache warm while you're away, so your next prompt doesn't re-read the whole conversation uncached. Two chips under the prompt, /warm-compact and /keep-warm turn each on or off for a session.
usage-weather
qarge/claude-mods
A live forecast above the prompt: context window fill (cached and uncached) updated on every model request, and the 5-hour and weekly usage limits as /usage reports them, kept in step across every session, with bars on a smooth color gradient, weather icons and reset countdowns.
warm-me
mucida-claude-mods/warm-me
Shows whether the session's prompt cache is warm or cold: a pixel-art fire that shrinks each quarter of the TTL, a countdown, and a sparkling snowflake once it expires.
