README

claude_code_mod

A collection of plugins (mods) that extend the local Claude Code harness.

Plugins

PluginPurpose
prompt-optimizerAttaches a hidden "clarify or proceed" instruction to short or vague prompts: if a key decision is missing, Claude asks at most 3 questions first; otherwise it proceeds and states its assumptions on the first line of the reply
session-pickerControl panel (Traditional Chinese UI): a button band above the prompt and a docked pane with Session (10 most recent unfinished sessions, click to /resume), Tool, MCP (enable/disable), 流程 (plan progress + live tool/agent/MCP activity, secrets masked) and 記憶 (loaded memory files: view or copy path) tabs, plus copy buttons for paths/URLs under each reply

Launchers

LauncherPurpose
start-claudeWindows double-click launcher: choose billing before Claude Code starts — 1 subscription (OAuth; clears the API key for that window only and requires authMethod claude.ai) or 2 API key (--bare, re-loads CLAUDE.md with --add-dir). Set the user environment variable CLAUDE_WORKDIR to your work folder. Details (Traditional Chinese): launchers/start-claude/README.md

Installation

These plugins use Claude Code's function hooks (hooks/register.ts), which is an early access API.

git clone https://github.com/bai-collab/claude_code_mod
claude --plugin-dir ./claude_code_mod/plugins/prompt-optimizer

You can also try the marketplace route (not yet verified for function-hook plugins):

/plugin marketplace add bai-collab/claude_code_mod
/plugin install prompt-optimizer@claude-code-mod

prompt-optimizer

UsageEffect
Type a prompt as usualIn short-only mode, prompts under 80 characters get the guidance
Start the prompt with * (asterisk + space)Skips the guidance for that one prompt. The * is removed only when the guidance would otherwise apply
/prompt-optimizerPauses or resumes the plugin for the current session
/configChange mode (short-only / always / off) and minLength
  • Only prompts you typed (in the terminal or through Remote Control) are affected. Background notifications, scheduled tasks and messages from other sessions are not.
  • The guidance is added as context that the model reads but you never see, so your prompt text is not rewritten.
  • While the plugin is active, the status line shows PO: on.

session-picker

Details (Traditional Chinese): plugins/session-picker/README.md.

cd <your work folder>          # the Session tab lists this folder's sessions
claude --plugin-dir <clone>/plugins/session-picker

On Windows you can double-click plugins/session-picker/open-claude-with-panel.cmd. After a fresh clone, first set the user environment variable CLAUDE_WORKDIR to your work folder (otherwise it uses the folder two levels above the plugin). The launcher also expects ANTHROPIC_API_KEY at user level.

EntryEffect
Band buttons Session Tool MCP 流程 記憶Open the panel on that tab (mouse clicks need the fullscreen layout)
/sessions, /panelOpen the panel
`/panel auto on\off`Auto-open the panel on session start
`/panel copybar on\off`Show/hide copy buttons under replies
  • Reads only: session transcripts (titles), planned/*.md, memory files, and ~/.claude.json (only the disabled-MCP name lists). Writes nothing; runs only its own read-only Node script and /resume, /mcp enable|disable when you press those buttons.
  • .claude-plugin/types/ is generated locally by /plugin-types and is not committed.
