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// rewrite-prompt: Ctrl+P rewrites the draft in the prompt box, in place, without sending it.
2//
3// Why a Button: no keybinding action runs a mod command. A Button's `action` is pressed by
4// whatever chord the person bound to that engine action, so keybindings.json maps ctrl+p to
5// app:toggleDiffNoiseFilter (inert outside the diff panel) and this Button answers it.
6// Setup: keybindings.json (Global: "ctrl+p": "app:toggleDiffNoiseFilter") and
7// CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_DIRS in settings.json pointing at this folder.
8// Depends on: $.prompt.read/fill, $.model.complete (uses the session's plan), $.ui.
9// Constraint: the model reply replaces the draft, so the original is lost; ctrl+_ (chat:undo) restores it.

11const SYSTEM =
12  "Rewrite the user's draft as a prompt for a coding agent. Keep the intent, the language and " +
13  'every concrete detail (paths, names, numbers, flags). Make it clearer and more specific and ' +
14  'cut filler. Do not add requirements the draft does not state. Reply with the rewritten prompt only.'

16// One rewrite at a time, so a second press can't overwrite the draft with a stale answer.
17// Declared at the top level because `claude plugin validate` only follows `$` into such functions.
