claude-mods

A Claude Code plugin marketplace of mods that change Claude Code's own interface. One repo, one marketplace file, one folder per mod under plugins/.

ModWhat it does
hivewatchLive Beadhive status in a pane: in-flight beads, per-agent liveness, molecule progress.

Install

/plugin marketplace add SimplicityGuy/claude-mods
/plugin install hivewatch@claude-mods

hivewatch

Run /hivewatch to open the pane (/hivewatch refresh to poll now, /hivewatch off to stop polling). The status line also shows hive: 3 live · 1 stale.

hivewatch · 12 in flight (8 live · 4 stale) · updated 3s ago

  • Liveness is the bead's lease, not the filesystem. ● means the agent's lease on the bead is still valid, ○ means the bead is in_progress but the lease has expired (the agent stopped heartbeating), · means no lease was ever granted.
  • Dispatch progress comes from bh work readiness --json for each in-progress epic (done steps over total steps).
  • Worktree state (dirty, none) comes from bh worktree status --json.

Settings

SettingDefault
hivesemptyComma-separated hive ids, for example github/SimplicityGuy/phaze. Empty watches the hive of the session's working directory.
refreshSeconds20Poll interval; each poll runs a few bh commands per hive, so keep it at 10 or more.

Not yet

  • Test-run progress bars. Nothing in Beadhive reports test progress per bead today.
  • A durable agent identity on each bead. bd records an assignee label such as dev/rank, not the Claude Code session or agent name, so the pane cannot yet join a bead to the live agent session.

Developing

Install just and the Claude Code CLI (CI pins 2.1.296), then:

just check          # validate + test every plugin under plugins/ (what CI runs)
just validate       # claude plugin validate
just test           # claude plugin test
just typecheck      # strict tsc, see below
claude --plugin-dir plugins/hivewatch      # try it in a session

CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml) runs just check on every pull request and on pushes to main. A new directory under plugins/ is picked up automatically.

just typecheck needs the engine's type declarations, which Claude Code writes into <plugin>/.claude-plugin/types/ (and a tsconfig.json beside the plugin) when a session loads the mod. They are generated per machine and not committed, and no headless command writes them, so the type-check runs locally after loading the mod once and is not yet part of CI.
