Zero-token side panel, In This Chat: goal, to-dos, connectors, skills and files.

Nine local Claude Code mods (UI and hook plugins) with a light Star Wars flavor.
| Mod | What it does |
|---|---|
| brain-dump | Intercepts long, unstructured prompts, asks clarifying questions, rewrites them into a structured prompt. !raw prefix skips it. |
| helper-desk | Progress bar from the to-do list, plus a side panel for sub-agents (/helper-desk). |
| cache-clock | Prompt-cache countdown, Keep Warm button, /keep-warm. |
| handoff | Generates a handoff prompt at 250k tokens, on cold cache, or on /handoff. |
| reflect | Offers to save rules/preferences to memory, CLAUDE.md, or a second brain. |
| chat-inventory | Zero-token "In This Chat" panel (/inventory). |
| switchboard | /mods panel to toggle mods and hide panels. |
| power-cells | Gauges above the prompt for context, the 5-hour limit, and a weekly pacing plan: a daily ration, work-day weighting, over/under-plan warnings. /power plan shows the week. |
| droid-console | Restyles the whole UI as a droid console: personality palettes, transmission headers, droid spinner words, status band. /droid switches personality. |
Status: experimental. They pass claude plugin validate and tsc, but have not been tested at runtime. Expect rough edges.
Add the marketplace once, then install the mods you want (user scope makes them load in every session):
claude plugin marketplace add ikentrock/starwars-claude-mods
claude plugin install brain-dump@starwars-claude-mods --scope user
claude plugin install cache-clock@starwars-claude-mods --scope user
claude plugin install chat-inventory@starwars-claude-mods --scope user
claude plugin install droid-console@starwars-claude-mods --scope user
claude plugin install handoff@starwars-claude-mods --scope user
claude plugin install helper-desk@starwars-claude-mods --scope user
claude plugin install power-cells@starwars-claude-mods --scope user
claude plugin install reflect@starwars-claude-mods --scope user
claude plugin install switchboard@starwars-claude-mods --scope user
Or one at a time from a session prompt:
/plugin install <mod> --marketplace ikentrock/starwars-claude-mods
Update later with claude plugin marketplace update starwars-claude-mods.
