Mods, by what they do

Mods are Claude Code's newest extension point (v2.1.287+): plugins with code that runs inside Claude Code, so they can draw panes and bands, restyle the interface and step into tool calls.

bash-guardrails

ruihe774/cc-bash-guardrails

Tool-call guard rules (parser-based), written in CEL; add your own in ~/.claude/bash-guardrails.json or .claude/bash-guardrails.json. On by default: blocks malformed bash and find rooted at /. Opt-in: Monitor, find without -xdev, pgrep/pkill pitfalls, until-grep loops, sudo, run0 confirmation, and pointing cat/head/sed/awk, heredoc writes, sed -i and Python rewrites to the Read, Write and Edit tools

Guard & safety mods

cache-caffeine

lperezmo/cache-caffeine

Keeps the prompt cache warm while you step away: a short poke before the cache expires, so the next turn reads the cache instead of writing it again. A row above the prompt turns it on and off and edits the message. Near the usage limit it books Claude a wake right after the reset.

Context & usage mods/plugin install

ccoverhead

shengyy/ccoverhead

A pane listing everything that entered the context window since the session started, by turn and by category

Context & usage mods/plugin install

cyberine-snippets

cyberinecore/cc-snippets

Keyboard picker for your saved prompts: search snippet files, fill their placeholders, and drop them into the Claude Code prompt box, plus create, edit, duplicate, move, pin, delete and restore snippets without leaving the session. Snippets are plain Markdown files, not skills, so they cost the model no context until you use one. To work, it watches what you type in the prompt box for the ;; trigger and reads your draft only to insert a snippet or save it as one; a snippet marked submit is sent as a prompt only after you pick it; while you edit a snippet body, Enter saves it instead of sending. It stores usage counts and your last placeholder values locally and makes no network requests.

About Claude Code mods

What is a Claude Code mod?

Since version 2.1.287, a mod is a Claude Code plugin with JavaScript or TypeScript handlers that run inside Claude Code. Unlike a settings hook or a status line script, a mod can draw panes beside the transcript and bands above the prompt, add buttons and toasts, restyle the spinner and tool rows, and hold, rewrite or answer a tool call. Mods work in the CLI, the Code tab of the desktop app and the VS Code extension.

How do I install a Claude Code mod?

A mod installs like any plugin. Inside Claude Code, add its marketplace with /plugin marketplace add owner/repo, then run /plugin install name@marketplace. To try one without installing it, clone the repo and start Claude Code with --plugin-dir pointing at the mod folder. Every mod page here has the exact commands.

What else is in this directory?

Every other way people customise Claude Code: status line scripts, settings hooks, custom slash commands, output styles, themes, plugin marketplaces and workflow kits, plus the apps people run it with, such as GUIs and mobile clients, usage and cost trackers, session browsers, model routers, multi-agent and worktree runners and editor integrations. Skills and MCP servers have their own directories.

What does a mod's reach mean?

Reach is the widest thing a mod's code asks Claude Code to do, from a static scan of its source: L0 only draws and remembers, L1 reads files or settings, L2 writes files, runs processes or drives Claude, and L3 reaches the network. It is a footprint, not a verdict: a pull request tracker has to run git. A mod runs with your permissions, so read its code before you install it.

How is popularity measured?

By the GitHub stars of each repo, with forks, curated awesome lists and listing in Anthropic's plugin directory as smaller signals. When one repo holds many mods they share its stars, so only its first few rank high. The data refreshes every day.

Are Claude Code mods safe?

Mods, hooks, status lines and most tools run on your machine with your permissions, so treat them like any code from the internet: check a mod's reach, read the code before installing, prefer well-starred and recently updated repos, and check the license. Run claude plugin validate on a clone to list what a mod hooks and calls without running it, and start Claude Code with --safe-mode to turn every customization off for a session.
