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 guard & safety mods
machine-guard
2joeldg/claude-mods
Memory, swap, GPU and the CPU cores macOS is using on the status line, and a machine_status tool for Claude; refuses heavy local jobs (training, inference, rendering, Docker) while memory is critical or the Mac is reserved with /busy.
diagram-render
12KilimcininKorOglu/claude-code-mods
Renders the mermaid blocks of the model's replies with an installed mmdc after each turn and draws each picture under its reply.
right-tool
1MDmubarak786/claude-mods
Stop Claude using cat, grep, find, and sed in Bash when the Read, Grep, and Glob tools fit. Each redirected call saves a permission prompt and keeps raw shell output out of context.
shot-inline
12KilimcininKorOglu/claude-code-mods
Draws each PNG or JPG the model saves or reads under its tool row: pixels in kitty and Ghostty, quadrant block cells in every other terminal.
oracle-name-guard
1MatheusChiodi/cockpit
Refuses an edit that creates a table, index, constraint, sequence or trigger named over 30 characters, the Oracle 11g limit
storage-guard
12KilimcininKorOglu/claude-code-mods
After an edit that keeps browser data in localStorage or sessionStorage, names each line, so the model stores the data in a cookie instead.
