Claude Code got mods. A mod is a small plugin that hooks into the app. It can draw a line above the prompt, open a pane, or hold a command before it runs.
I started with one and kept going. Now there are 20 in one repo: hamzafer/claude-code-mods.
Here are the ones I keep on.
I used to run /context again and again. Now the window sits above the prompt as one bar. Each category gets its own color: system prompt, tools, MCP, skills, messages. It also marks where auto-compact starts.
I run Codex as a second reviewer. It works in the background, so I never knew if it was alive. review-watch gives each review one line: the model, what it reviews, the time, and the last thing it printed. When it ends, a toast shows the findings.
It holds rm -r, force pushes and database migrations. It shows what would be deleted or dropped. You pick Cancel or Proceed. If nobody answers in 60 seconds, it cancels.
When Claude edits a README, I want to see the page, not the raw text. md-preview renders it like GitHub in a pane next to the chat. Press b for before and after.
This one is just for fun. It shows the song, a progress bar and the lyric being sung. Click ⏮ ⏸ ⏭ to control it.
When Claude starts subagents, I lose track fast. mission-control shows each agent and every tool call. A second view maps the files they read and write.
Add the marketplace once, then install any mod by name:
claude plugin marketplace add hamzafer/claude-code-mods
claude plugin install context-bar@claude-code-mods
You need Claude Code 2.1.287 or newer. Restart after installing.
Every mod has its own page here: hamzafer.github.io/claude-code-mods. The code is on GitHub, MIT licensed.
