claude-code-mods

Function-hook mods for Claude Code. Each folder is one plugin.

ModWhat it does
context-watchOne-line gauge above the prompt for context fill, cost and hot rate limits; toasts at 60/80/90%; compaction keeps your instructions and edited files; /ctx opens a context breakdown pane
live-spinnerSpinner shows what is running: the Bash description or a trimmed command, the ssh host, file being read or edited, search, subagent, MCP tool; a tool's own elapsed time after 15s; "Waiting for signing approval" when a signed git commit or tag sits quiet
pr-watchTracks PRs from gh pr / gt submit / git push output, shows checks above the prompt, toasts on green/red/merged, blocks foreground CI polling loops; /prs
house-styleNo em dashes: system prompt rule, reminder to the model after a write that adds one, toast when a reply uses one
handoff/carryover [focus] writes a state note from the conversation and clears; the next prompt carries it. /carryover save, show, drop
agent-jobs/jobs opens a pane of running subagents and background shells with elapsed time and a Stop button; toasts when background work finishes
zsh-safeQuotes glob flags zsh would expand (--include=*.ts, find -name *.ts) and keeps a grep that finds nothing from failing a cd ... && grep chain
pm-guardBlocks npm/npx/yarn where the lockfile says bun or pnpm, and steers to bun where there is no lockfile
remote-guardAsks before a destructive command (restart, rm, kill, reboot, pct/qm stop, zfs destroy) runs over ssh
xcode-statusOnly in a folder with an .xcodeproj/.xcworkspace: one line with the last build or test result (flags runs that executed 0 tests) and the booted simulator; blocks a second xcodebuild while one is running; re-checks on /cd and keeps each project's last result
agent-modelsPins the model each subagent type runs on (Explore, general-purpose, Plan, any other, plus custom type=model pairs), set in /config or with /agent-models <type> <model>; a model the caller names wins unless "Override explicit models" is on
worktrees/worktrees pane: each git worktree with branch, uncommitted changes, ahead/behind and PR state; Remove (after asking) on clean worktrees whose PR is merged or closed, plus "Remove N merged" to clear every merged one at once
pr-rulesBlocks gh pr create / gt submit when the repo keeps an [Unreleased] changelog and the branch adds no entry (skip with --label no-changelog); where the repo's CLAUDE.md says to label every PR (or requireLabels is on), blocks a PR with no --label and lists the repo's labels. Repos with neither are untouched; `/pr-rules onoffauto` overrides per repo (kept across sessions)

Install

claude plugin marketplace add narrowstacks/claude-code-mods
claude plugin install context-watch@claude-code-mods

Or load from a checkout without installing:

claude --plugin-dir ./context-watch --plugin-dir ./live-spinner

Check

claude plugin validate ./context-watch
claude plugin test ./context-watch

tsc -p ./context-watch works once Claude Code has loaded the mod and written .claude-plugin/types/.
