A curated list of Claude Code mods — plugins whose behavior is a JS/TS hooks module exporting register(on). Not Agent Skills. Not MCP. Requires Claude Code 2.1.287+.
Definition: A Claude Code mod is a plugin whose behavior lives in a JS/TS hooks module exporting register(on, options), with hooks/hooks.json listing modules. Not generic Agent Skills.
git clone https://github.com/kunchenguid/firstmate && claude --plugin-dir ./firstmate/.claude/mods/firstmate-calm
# No marketplace; stars count is for Firstmate distro as a whole.

UIVerified
Real Chromium in a Claude Code pane (kitty graphics). /browser [url]; optional agent tools; $.browser API for other mods.
Why it is here: Best-in-class pane + host-process bridge; previews localhost apps Claude is editing; requires ghostty/kitty/libghostty.
Build from the official blog (~80 lines) or ask Claude: 'Make me a Claude Code mod called token-weather…'. Then: claude --plugin-dir ./token-weather OR package into a marketplace and /plugin install token-weather@<marketplace>

cache-tax

CostVerified
Blocks one cold prompt-cache send with price estimate; /keepwarm pings to keep 1h cache alive; scores cold-write cost.
Why it is here: Direct money saver for API-key users; also teaches prompt.submit guards + $.model.fork keepwarm.
Follow the Blast Radius section of the official mods blog (not a published marketplace package as of 2026-10-02). Ask Claude to build it from the blog description, then claude --plugin-dir ./blast-radius

replay-theater
Addy Osmani / Anthropic tutorial (DIY)
ReviewVerified
Records Edit/Write old→new text during a turn; after turn.complete, hint above prompt; /replay or 'r' opens a pane that steps through diffs with Prev/Next/Close.
Why it is here: Teaches pairing turn.start/turn.complete, reading files with $.fs.read for real diffs, slash-command registration, and adaptive pane placement.
No standalone marketplace package found; reconstruct from blog.
Build from the Replay Theater section of the official mods blog. Register /replay via $.command.register; load with claude --plugin-dir ./replay-theater
Built into Claude Code. Source loadable for study: claude --plugin-dir mods/diff (from anthropics/claude-code checkout).
