claude plugin marketplace add whyashthakker/awesome-claude-code-mods
claude plugin install branch-board@awesome-claude-code-modsRun /reload-plugins in an existing session, then /branch-board. Use Tab and Enter to operate controls; Esc closes the pane. Terminal and Desktop Code tab supported; pane UI is unavailable in claude -p and the VS Code chat panel.
Try the source without installing:
claude --plugin-dir ./mods/branch-boardRuns read-only Git commands only when opened or refreshed. Git must be on PATH. No network, writes, or persistence.
Module variables reset on hot reload. All display output is bounded; viewers may truncate long content to 9,000 characters. Relative file paths and Git commands use the session working directory.
Tested with Claude Code 2.1.288. Minimum documented mods version: 2.1.287. The API can change; validate against your installed version.
claude plugin validate mods/branch-board --strict
claude plugin test mods/branch-boardTests cover plugin commands, pane isolation, both UI surfaces, and the behavior described in tests/register.test.ts. Drawing tests validate element trees; they do not verify pixels painted by the native apps. Validation details.
