face

A small presence band above the prompt. The agent sets a kaomoji face and a few words for how it is right now (mcp__face__face), and the band shows it above your prompt. It also draws inline in the transcript whenever the face is set, and the last face is remembered across sessions.

  • Tool: face (arguments face, up to 24 characters, and line, up to 40 characters).
  • /band shows or hides the band.
  • /face prints the current face (useful in surfaces without the band).

Install

  1. Copy this folder somewhere permanent, for example ~/.claude/mods/face.
  2. Load it: set CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_DIRS=/path/to/face (colon-separate several) in the environment that starts Claude Code, or pass --plugin-dir /path/to/face.
  3. Restart Claude Code. Tools register at session start, so a full restart is needed.

Configure

Nothing to configure. Tell the agent in your system prompt or frame that it can set its face whenever its state changes, like a facial expression.

Validate

claude plugin validate .

Caveats

Mods (function hooks) are an early-access feature of Claude Code and may change between releases without notice. This mod draws UI (ui.render), so it is the most likely to need updating when the surface changes. Claude Code writes the shared type declarations into .claude-plugin/types/ itself when it loads the mod, so they are not included here; the small types/index.d.ts beside the hooks is this mod's own state typing.
