README

claude-code-mods

Claude Code mods I use daily.

rewrite-prompt: press Ctrl+P and the draft in the prompt box is rewritten in place by a model (Sonnet, on your plan). Nothing is sent until you press Enter, and Ctrl+_ undoes it.
write-for-me: press Ctrl+N and the next prompt is written for you from the last 12 messages of the conversation. If the box has text, it is used as a hint ("tests too") and expanded. Nothing is sent, and Ctrl+_ undoes it.
prompt-box: the prompts you type are drawn in the scrollback inside a thick cyan box instead of one > text line. Task notifications and messages from other sessions keep their normal rows. No key binding needed.
tool-oneline: each tool call is drawn as one line (⏺ Bash(echo hello) (ctrl+o to expand)) with no result block under it. Set detail to runs for one line per run of calls (⏺ Ran 3 tools: Bash ×2, Read). Ctrl+O still shows the full rows. A failed call keeps its error text.

Setup

claude plugin marketplace add ekinertac/claude-code-mods
claude plugin install rewrite-prompt@ekinertac-mods
claude plugin install write-for-me@ekinertac-mods
claude plugin install prompt-box@ekinertac-mods
claude plugin install tool-oneline@ekinertac-mods

Then bind the keys. Add these to the Global block of ~/.claude/keybindings.json and start a new session:

"ctrl+p": "app:toggleDiffNoiseFilter",
"ctrl+n": "app:toggleDiffPreSession"

To use the runs level, add this to ~/.claude/settings.json:

"pluginConfigs": { "tool-oneline": { "options": { "detail": "runs" } } }

How the shortcut works

No keybinding action runs a mod command. The mod draws a zero-size button above the prompt whose action is app:toggleDiffNoiseFilter (inert outside the diff panel; write-for-me uses app:toggleDiffPreSession the same way, so the two never share an action), and the chord you bind to that action presses it. Nothing shows on screen.

Limits

Tested on Claude Code 2.1.287. Mod events and methods can change between releases.
The rewrite replaces the draft. It keeps the intent, language and concrete details, and adds no requirements.
Not checked in every terminal: if you see a blank row above the prompt, open an issue.
Tests: claude plugin test <mod> (stubs the model, no network).

1// prompt-box: draws the prompts you typed in a thick colored box in the scrollback.
2//
3// Why: the engine draws a typed prompt as one `> text` line, which is easy to lose when you scroll
4// back through long agent output. A full-width bordered box is visible at scroll speed.
5// How: a ui.render hook on the UserMessage row, matched on origin.kind 'composer', so task
6// notifications, peer messages and plugin prompts keep the engine's own rows.
7// The chevron sits in its own column, so wrapped and multi-line prompts line up under the first
8// character of the text instead of under the chevron.
9// The text is drawn as given and wraps; the stored message and what the model reads do not change.
10// Pasted text is stored wrapped in <pasted_content id="..."> tags for the model; they are noise to
11// a reader, so they are removed from the drawn text only.
12// Constraint: the box costs two extra rows per prompt (top and bottom border), and it also shows in
13// the ctrl+o transcript.
