README

claude-mods

Two small mods for Claude Code.

ModWhat it does
delete-guardWhile the clean-generated-artifacts skill runs (from the moment it loads until that turn ends), holds any delete command (rm, rmdir, unlink, shred, trash, git rm, git clean, find -delete) and opens a pane listing every file. Toggle each file between delete and keep, then Confirm or Refuse all. Files marked keep are dropped from the command when it is retried. Open the pane by hand with /delete-guard.
octopus-crewDraws Clawd, Claude Code's pixel mascot, above the prompt for the current model (Claude orange), advisor and subagent models, each live Claude Code subagent, and optionally each firstmate ship, scout, or secondmate. Firstmate octopuses show the task id and state colour.

Install

At a Claude Code prompt in a terminal:

/plugin install delete-guard --marketplace EmanueleNene/claude-mods
/plugin install octopus-crew --marketplace EmanueleNene/claude-mods

Answer y to add the marketplace, then pick a scope (user scope loads in every session).

Notes

  • delete-guard cannot wait open for a click, so the first delete attempt is held and Claude is told your decision afterwards, then re-runs the command. It only sees deletions run through the shell tool.
  • octopus-crew reads the models when it loads, so a later /model or /advisor change shows after the next reload. Its firstmateHome plugin option is unset by default; set it to the captain's firstmate home (/home/emanuele/firstmate) to show crew. Leave it unset to disable crew octopuses.
  • Crew state is read-only: the mod polls <firstmateHome>/state about every five seconds, reads .meta and .status files, and never changes or steers fleet tasks. It shows kind=ship, kind=scout, and kind=secondmate workers (including Pi-harness workers dispatched by firstmate); secondmates are labelled secondmate · <task-id>. working, decision-waiting, done and endpoint-gone states use distinct hues; completed tasks stay dimmed until their .meta file disappears. Nothing from the fleet is added to model-facing context.
  • Claude Code subagents started in the session are shown individually from agent.spawn until their turn.complete. A Pi subagent that is not launched as a firstmate state-directory worker is not observable from this Claude Code mod; the mod does not invent a signal for it.
  • Click Hide octopuses in the band to collapse it to a Show octopuses (n) button, where n counts the octopuses waiting. It stays hidden through new subagents and reloads until you press Show. Without a mouse, focus the band with ctrl+x tab and press Enter.
