Turns your corrections into permanent rules, without duplicates.
/plugin install noted --marketplace modmyclaude/claude-code-mods
Correct Claude the way you normally would: "no, use pnpm", "don't add comments to every line", "we use vitest, not jest", "stop adding emojis", "I told you to use tabs". Your prompt goes through untouched. A moment later a band appears above the prompt with one short, general rule:
Noted - save this as a house rule?
Use pnpm, not npm, in this repo.
[ Save to project ] [ Save globally ] [ Edit ] [ Skip ]
./CLAUDE.md, Save globally to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, as a list item under a ## House rules heading (added if missing). Nothing else in the file changes.Once the band has focus (click it, or ctrl+x tab), e edits, s skips, o dismisses a notice and d closes the /rules list. The buttons that write a file (Save, Replace old rule, Remove) have no key, and focus starts on Skip, OK or Done, so neither a stray keystroke nor Enter ever writes one. noted's lines come after any other mod's band, never in place of it, so their buttons stay in view.
/rules lists the rules noted has learned, with the file and the date each was added, in the transcript and in the band, where each one has a Remove button. /rules remove <number> removes one by its number, for surfaces without the band; it acts only when you type it, and a peer session, channel, task or plugin running it gets a refusal. Removing a rule deletes its line from the file. The /rules listing is a transcript row, so Claude reads it too.
None.
./CLAUDE.md at the project root and ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (or $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/CLAUDE.md when that is set), only to find the ## House rules list. They are read when a correction is detected, when you press a button and when you run /rules./rules remove <number>. A file that exists but cannot be read is never written.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, USERPROFILE and HOME (in that order), to find the global file.haiku alias at low effort and sends the correction (up to 600 characters), that reply tail, and up to 60 existing rules (200 characters each). That is at most about 4,000 input tokens and usually a few hundred. The existing rules, like the correction and the reply tail, are sent as quoted data the model is told not to follow, and nothing is written until you press a button. The reply is capped at 1,024 tokens, room for the model to think first, and the call at 20 seconds. A reply cut short is ignored. The call goes through the session's own client./rules can show when it was added./rules works everywhere.haiku model (some Bedrock, Vertex or gateway setups, refused or answered as "model not found"), noted says so once and proposes nothing./rules lists only rules saved through noted. Rules you write by hand still count for duplicates and conflicts. A rule you delete by hand drops off the list.This mod was built from prompts/noted.md.
