Claude Code prompt mods

Two Claude Code mods that fix your prompt before Claude reads it:

ModWhat it doesToggle
grammar-fixFixes the grammar and spelling of every English prompt, sends Claude the corrected version and shows you what changed./grammar-fix
georgian-bridgeTranslates the Georgian (ქართული) in a prompt to English so Claude reasons and replies in English. Your message stays on screen as you typed it and the translation is never echoed./georgian

The skills/ folder keeps the older skill versions of the same two ideas. Use the mods. The skills are there for places mods can't run.

Why mods instead of skills

A skill is a set of instructions. Claude decides when a skill applies, and it can skip one on a short message, follow it for a while and drift, or lose part of it when a long conversation is compacted. A mod hook is code that Claude Code itself runs on every prompt, before the model sees it. If the check has to happen every time, it belongs in a hook.

The Claude Code docs say the same:

Unlike CLAUDE.md instructions which are advisory, hooks are deterministic and guarantee the action happens.

Best practices

Claude skipped a rule that must hold every time: move the rule into a hook. Claude Code runs a hook every time its event occurs [...] whether or not Claude is following the skill.

Skills: troubleshooting

Extra costNoneOne small Haiku call per prompt it handles, about 1-3 seconds

Note: mods (function hooks) are an early-access Claude Code feature, so the API may change between releases.

Requirements

  • Claude Code v2.1.275 or later for the one-command install. Check with claude --version and update with claude update.
  • An interactive session. The mods only act on prompts you type (in the terminal, the desktop Code tab, or through Remote Control). They skip claude -p and Agent SDK runs.

Install

Option 1: one command inside Claude Code (recommended)

Type these at the Claude Code prompt in a terminal session:

/plugin install grammar-fix --marketplace kakha13/claude
/plugin install georgian-bridge --marketplace kakha13/claude
  1. The first time, Claude Code asks Add marketplace? for github:kakha13/claude. Answer y.
  2. Pick a scope. User (the first one) installs it for all your projects.
  3. You'll see Installed grammar-fix. Plugin is now active. It works right away, with no restart.

The desktop app's Code tab doesn't have the /plugin install command. Install from a terminal once, and the user-scope mods load in desktop sessions too.

Option 2: from your shell

claude plugin marketplace add kakha13/claude
claude plugin install grammar-fix@kakha13
claude plugin install georgian-bridge@kakha13

Start a new session, or run /reload-plugins in an open one.

Option 3: from a local clone

Clone the repo if you want to edit the mods. Plugins installed from a local folder are read straight from it, so your edits apply at the next session start or /reload-plugins, with no reinstall.

git clone https://github.com/kakha13/claude.git ~/Developer/claude
claude plugin marketplace add ~/Developer/claude
claude plugin install grammar-fix@kakha13
claude plugin install georgian-bridge@kakha13

Try one without installing

claude --plugin-dir ~/Developer/claude/mods/grammar-fix --plugin-dir ~/Developer/claude/mods/georgian-bridge

This loads the mods for that one session only.

Check that it works

  1. Run claude plugin list. Both mods should show Status: ✔ enabled.
  2. In a session, type can u check this. Under your message you'll see dim lines like:
   ✏️  grammar-fix
      ❌ u  →  ✅ you
  1. Type something in Georgian, for example ეს ღილაკი ცოტა მარცხნივ გადაწიე. Claude answers in English, and the translation isn't shown.

Use

CommandEffect
/grammar-fixTurns grammar fixing off, or back on. While it's off, the status line shows grammar-fix: off. The setting is remembered across sessions.
/georgianTurns Georgian translation off, or back on. While it's off, the status line shows georgian-bridge: off.

Both mods leave these prompts alone:

  • Slash commands and lines starting with ! or #. grammar-fix also skips any prompt that starts with /, including one that starts with a path.
  • Prompts longer than 4,000 characters, which are usually pasted logs or code.
  • Messages you didn't type, such as background task results or messages from other sessions.

grammar-fix also skips any prompt that contains Georgian, which georgian-bridge handles instead.

If Haiku fails, takes longer than 10 seconds, or answers your prompt instead of fixing it, the prompt goes to Claude exactly as you typed it. A broken mod never blocks a prompt.

Update, disable, uninstall

claude plugin marketplace update kakha13        # fetch the latest version from GitHub
claude plugin update grammar-fix@kakha13
claude plugin disable grammar-fix@kakha13       # keep it installed but off
claude plugin enable grammar-fix@kakha13
claude plugin uninstall grammar-fix@kakha13
claude plugin marketplace remove kakha13        # after uninstalling both mods

Run /reload-plugins in any open session afterwards. A local clone (Option 3) has nothing to update: edit the folder and reload.

Skills (optional)

skills/ holds the skill versions:

SkillMod that replaces it
spelling-and-grammargrammar-fix
georgian-bridgegeorgian-bridge

Use them where mods can't run (claude.ai, Cowork), or as a fallback for prompts a mod skips. To install, copy them into your personal skills folder so they load in every project:

cp -R ~/Developer/claude/skills/spelling-and-grammar ~/Developer/claude/skills/georgian-bridge ~/.claude/skills/

Running a mod and its skill together is fine. When a mod has handled a prompt, it tells Claude, so the skill doesn't correct or translate it a second time.

How the mods work

Each mod is a prompt.submit function hook in hooks/register.ts. Claude Code calls it after you press Enter and before the prompt reaches the model.

  • grammar-fix sends the prompt to Haiku with proofreading instructions (fix grammar, spelling and punctuation, never touch code, paths, URLs or commands) and gets back the corrected text plus a list of fixes. Pasted text, fenced code blocks and inline code in backticks are swapped for placeholders first, so Haiku never sees them and they reach Claude exactly as pasted. It replaces your prompt with the corrected text and logs each fix as a dim ❌ → ✅ line. Claude gets only the corrected prompt, with nothing added.
  • georgian-bridge sends the prompt to Haiku as a "professional translator from Georgian to English", with English parts and code copied as is. It doesn't change your text: the English version goes to Claude as hidden context. Colloquial Georgian can be ambiguous, so Claude is told to follow your original wording wherever the translation misses what you meant.

Develop

For writing your own mod, ask Claude Code to "make a mod". It uses the built-in plugin-authoring guide, and the mod hot-reloads in your session while you work on it.
