Awesome Claude Code Mods 
Every Claude Code mod on GitHub, with what each one can reach.
A Claude Mod is a Claude Code plugin whose hooks are TypeScript functions that run inside Claude Code's own process. They draw above the prompt, open panes beside the transcript, rewrite tool calls, spawn agents and touch the host, all with zero tokens. Anthropic proposed them as function hooks on 2026-09-03 and committed to shipping them on 2026-09-09; the design thread is listed under Building mods below. They are early access: set CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1 or nothing loads, and the API can change between releases.
This list is different from a plain index in one way. Every row carries the mod's footprint: the events it hooks and the $ calls it makes, printed by Claude's own claude plugin validate before any mod code runs. A nightly scan clones every candidate repo on GitHub and refreshes the table, the badges and the scoreboard page, which is generated from the same data. The method is described below the tables.
As of 2026-09-17, scanned against Claude Code 2.1.274: 72 mods in 142 candidate repos. 30 run host processes, 11 write files, 24 read files, 14 reach the network, 24 see every tool call, 23 see every prompt, 3 fail to validate on this version. Reach levels: L0 draws and remembers: 20 · L1 reads: 6 · L2 writes or runs: 32 · L3 network: 14. Not counted: davila7/claude-code-templates repackages 24 mods, a catalogue named here once instead of once per copy.

Dashboards and usage
- cctop - A btop-style pane with context fill, tokens, cost, cache hit ratio, rate limits, per-tool latency and subagents.
- token-ledger - A pinned line with session cost, last-turn tokens and cache hit ratio, plus
/ledgerfor the table. - context-lens - A live
/contextline with window fill and growth per turn, plus a pane with per-category bars. - quota-meter - The 5-hour and 7-day plan windows as a pinned status line.
- agent-flow -
/flowopens a live tree of the session's subagents and teammates beside the transcript.
While you wait
- Mindful-Claude - A guided breathing band above the prompt while a turn runs; the spinner counts the breath with you.
- cc-arcade - Nine games above the prompt, paused when Claude finishes, plus a pet fed by the tests, commits and edits Claude makes.
- claude-games - A dodge race, Breakout, a dino runner and a side-scrolling shooter that react to Claude's real edits and commits.
- cc-pokedex - Wild creatures appear above the prompt based on where your prompt leads.
- time - The time you sent each message, drawn above it.
Git, pull requests and CI
- cc-pr-tracker - Watched pull requests as lines above the prompt, with merge state, review and required checks, and a toast when one changes.
- gh-ci-status - GitHub Actions runs of the session's repo pinned above the prompt, with links to the PR and the run.
- vercel-deploy-status - The Vercel deploy queue of the linked project under the prompt, woken by a push or a merge.
- pr-bridge-watch - Connects a new PR's CI to a live watch over a WebSocket bridge.
Safety and privacy
- secret-redactor - Swaps secrets, email addresses and IPs for stable placeholders before the model reads them, and restores them on the way into a tool call.
- honmoon-redact - Redacts API keys and sensitive identifiers from Read, Bash and Grep output before it reaches the model.
- kb-settings-guard - Denies a delegated agent lane any write to the repo's Claude settings files.
- claude-doctor - Reports an install health verdict at session start and refuses tool calls while the install is provably broken.
- plugin-health - Reports at session start when plugins declared in settings are not installed or are disabled for the project.
Memory and context
- lcm - Lossless context management: DAG-based summarization that keeps every message reachable.
- kindex-modern - Repo-local memory and durable tasks that learn from your conversations.
- segmem - Segmented, scoped memory in one SQLite file: wakes at session start, recalls on every prompt, nags when stale.
- commonplace - An LLM-maintained knowledge base for Obsidian vaults that triggers on paper sharing and research questions.
- aside - A read-only side chat in a pane: ask about the session so far and a tool-less fork of the transcript answers.
Rendering
- claude-mermaid - Every mermaid block Claude writes is drawn as box art, in colour, where the fence was in the transcript.
Agents and workflows
- autodev-core - Brainstorm, auto, iterate, audit, review and ship commands with a prd.json sprint system.
- catalyst-probes - A consultation and prompt engine configured by TOML tables of probes and prompts.
- autotel - OpenTelemetry for mods: adds
$.autotelin the engine.create fold and traces every hook dispatch. - homie-persona-cognition - Host-bound cognitive lifecycle events for a persona system.
Building mods
- Function Hooks: the issue - The design thread: architecture PDF, nine demo videos, the cheat sheet and the community updates.
- Anthropic's built-in mods - Source of diff, sec-default and telemetry, with the test kit and the noun-contract convention.
- claude-mods-skill - A skill that teaches Claude to build a mod, with a working hello-mod to copy.

Every mod the scanner found
Every plugin on GitHub whose hooks/hooks.json names a module and that is not a test fixture, a mirror of Anthropic's own mods, or a copy inside a catalogue (repos in data/catalogs.txt are named once with their count, so their stars never rank a copy above the author's own repo). A mod its author has moved to another repo counts once, on the copy named in data/duplicates.txt; the scanner flags same-owner same-name pairs for review and never collapses them on its own. Sorted by stars. Reach is the widest thing the mod's $ calls can touch: L0 draws and remembers, L1 reads, L2 writes files, runs processes or drives Claude, L3 reaches the network. It is a footprint, not a verdict; a PR tracker has to run gh. Sees lists what the mod observes without a matcher.

How the scan works
Discovery searches GitHub code for CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS and for a hooks/hooks.json with a modules key, and adds the repos in data/seeds.txt. The scanner clones each repo shallow, finds every plugin with a hooks module, and runs claude plugin validate on its plugin.json. The validator inventories the source and prints the events hooked and the $ calls made; no mod code runs. The grader turns the calls into a reach level and the hooks into a visibility list; its rules are in tools/grade.mjs and tested. The renderer writes the tables above, one badge pair per mod under badges/, and the scoreboard page under docs/, which GitHub Pages serves as mods.karanbansal.in.
The raw result is data/mods.json. Every row can be reproduced on your machine with the commands in contributing.md, which also has the one-line badge for your own mod.
Turn mods on
{ "env": { "CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS": "1" } }
in ~/.claude/settings.json, or for one session: CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1 claude. Setting it globally loads the hooks module of every installed plugin that ships one, which is exactly what the footprints above are for.
