Awesome Claude Code Mods

70 useful mods: 50 general tools + 20 Desktop mods, plus community picks. Pick one. Install it. Keep working.

This repository was inspired by the Claude Code Mods guide on ExplainX.ai.

70 independent, MIT-licensed bundled plugins for Git inspection, session diagnostics, local file viewers, workspace notes, text utilities, and workflow controls, including 20 additions for the Claude Desktop Code tab. Each comes with working source, native Claude Code tests, install instructions, an access description, and a screenshot. The community section adds external projects with their own installation and requirements.

Screenshots show actual mod render trees captured by Claude Code's test kit with fixture data, painted in a browser preview. They are not native Claude Code app captures. Screenshot provenance.

Requires Claude Code 2.1.287+. Tested with 2.1.288. Mods are enabled by default; no early-access environment flag is needed. Works in the CLI and the Desktop Code tab. The VS Code chat panel and claude -p run hooks but do not show mod panes. Official overview.

claude plugin marketplace add whyashthakker/awesome-claude-code-mods
claude plugin install task-board@awesome-claude-code-mods

In Claude Code, run /reload-plugins if your session is already open, then /task-board. Type a task, press Enter to save, and use the task button to mark it done. Tab moves between controls; Esc closes a pane. Ctrl+X then Tab returns keyboard focus to a pane.

Try a mod directly from source:

git clone https://github.com/whyashthakker/awesome-claude-code-mods.git
cd awesome-claude-code-mods
claude --plugin-dir ./mods/context-meter

Then run /context-meter. Replace context-meter with any folder below. You can install several independently; each command uses its mod's name. No runtime dependencies or build step. Git tools require Git on PATH; package viewers expect a package.json in your project or a path you choose.

These are executable mods, not a list of prompts or skills. Research links document the ecosystem; the 70 implementations here are original, and some use cases overlap with existing mods.

Desktop quick start

The new Desktop set includes an image-inspired usage strip, SVG charts, document and review panes, drafting tools, and a workflow board. These 20 additions target the Claude Desktop Code tab. Choose a Desktop mod and see setup details.

claude plugin install desktop-usage-strip@awesome-claude-code-mods

Open a local Code session in Claude Desktop, run /reload-plugins if needed, then /desktop-usage-strip. If the marketplace is already registered, update it first with claude plugin marketplace update awesome-claude-code-mods. The strip shows quota/reset, context, observed token totals, and reported session USD. Its pane includes a hide/show control. Missing figures are labeled; costs are not subscription bills.
