- 1agents-mdanthropics/claude-codeAGENTS.md as project instructions, by one option. Under claude-md-or-agents-md a project with no instruction files of its own gets its AGENTS.md files instead: a prompt.context hook asks $.fs.ancestors for every AGENTS.md and .claude/AGENTS.md from the filesystem root down to the working directory and hands them to the engine as project instruction files, which it renders, announces and withholds from agents exactly as it does CLAUDE.md, skipping any file the engine already loaded by import or link; a tool.call hook on Read attaches the ones under the project root as the engine attaches a nested CLAUDE.md. Under claude-md-and-agents-md every AGENTS.md is loaded beside CLAUDE.md. Under managed-only the project's and the person's instruction files are dropped and the organization's managed ones kept. Under claude-md the engine's walk stands alone. claude-md-or-agents-md is the default.Memory & instructions mods154k
- 2sec-defaultanthropics/claude-codeSecurity default for organizations: seated outermost, it keeps the organization's classic hooks, prompt content, settings, tool policy and pinned environment out of reach of the plugins a person installs, and adds no policy of its own; one managed option, allowManagedModsOnly, limits mods to the organization's.Workflow mods154k
- 3code-modernizationanthropics/claude-plugins-officialGuided modernization for any legacy codebase: start with /modernize, get an assessment, an interactive map, the business rules mined from the code, and a plan you approve, then an upgrade, a rewrite or a rebuild with independent proof that the new code behaves like the old. Includes security hardening, a one-page report, specialist agents, and an optional live progress pane (early access).Memory & instructions mods46k
- 4ruview-liveruvnet/RuViewRuView live sensing in Claude Code: /ruview opens a pane beside the transcript with three views: an overview of your CSI nodes (ESP32, Realtek) and 60 GHz radar (rates, loss, RSSI, presence, device-reported vitals, alerts), a live CSI amplitude waterfall, and a radar range fan with vitals charts, all drawn in terminal cells. Reads only; runs the @ruvnet/ruview CLI it ships beside.Pane & dashboard mods102k
- 5ruflo-bbs-federationruvnet/rufloAgentBBS cross-host agent federation for ruflo (ADR-164). Phase 1 exposes room coordination — federation_bbs_register / federation_bbs_publish / federation_bbs_watch / federation_bbs_human_join. Phase 2 (v3.40.0) adds signed cross-host federation — federation_bbs_identity (persistent Ed25519 node identity), federation_bbs_peer_add (pin a peer by nodeId + public key), federation_bbs_peers (audit/unpin), federation_bbs_serve (read-only pull endpoint), and federation_bbs_sync (pull pinned peers and union-merge what verifies). Every merged envelope is Ed25519-verified against a pinned key; unsigned/misattributed/oversize/over-hop envelopes are dropped and counted. Transport is HTTP pull and works on any network (Tailscale, LAN, VPN, loopback) — no tailnet required. Coordinates work ownership via claim messages (ClaimIssued/Released/Handoff/Ack). agentbbs lives in optionalDependencies; every handler gracefully degrades to {degraded:true} when the package is missing (ADR-150 pattern). As a mod (ADR-445 pattern): a tighten-only tool guard, a local slash command, and a status file the console shows.Workflow mods80k
- 6ruflo-consoleruvnet/rufloruflo's cockpit inside Claude Code and the one /ruflo command for every ruflo mod (function hooks, early access). Views: overview with health alerts, swarm topology graph, claims flow with TTL rings, federation map, plugin health matrix, learning curve and pipeline, MetaHarness radar and audit trend, memory, cost gauge, agent timeline, approvals queue, event stream, a main menu, an x.ruv.io federation board, an AI terminal (codex, claude or both in remembered sessions, streamed), Skills (npx skills), a Hive-Mind view, a MetaHarness lab, agent drill-down; a command palette for confirm-gated actions through the ruflo CLI; a band above the prompt. Reads ruflo's files and the CLI's local JSON; anything not measured reads n/a. The one network call it makes by itself is a daily read of the published plugin.json at github.com/ruvnet/ruflo to offer an update (Settings → Updates: ask, auto, or off); it installs only through Claude Code's own claude plugin update, and never a new major version without asking.Notification & sound mods80k
- 7fmkunchenguid/firstmateFirstmate Calm for Claude Code: the sailboat working animation and conversation-only transcript presentation, sharing the per-home config/calm preference with the Pi Calm extension. Its hooks module may load through CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS or Claude Code's tengu_plugin_hooks_modules rollout flag, but the mod activates only when CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS is exactly 1 and is otherwise a complete no-op.Workflow mods8.5k

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.
