Claude Code Mods: the 3 mods to install first, without writing any code
Three sessions working as a team, a mod that sends simple tasks to the cheapest model, a dashboard inside Claude Code: the copy-paste prompts, plus Anthropic's sample mods and the safety rules.

Claude Code now has mods: small add-ons that change what Claude does and what you see on screen. You don't write a single line of code: you describe the mod, Claude builds it, you approve it.
This guide gives you the three mods from the video as copy-paste prompts, then more to add, and what to know before you install one. Commands and prices checked on November 4, 2026, on Claude Code 2.1.318 and the official documentation.
The Claude AI Lab is my Skool community where I share my Claude systems and the more advanced modules. Access is $67/month.
Join the Lab →claude --version, update with claude update. In the Code tab of the Desktop app, type /status: you need 2.1.286 or later.plugin-authoring skill./plugin. Press Tab until you reach the Installed tab. To change something, just ask Claude.Sessions that work as a team
/standup command that asks each one for a one-line update./rename prospector in the first, /rename writer in the second, /rename manager in the third.You handle prospecting. List 30 [REAL ESTATE AGENCIES IN DALLAS] that [HAVE NO ONLINE APPOINTMENT BOOKING].
For each one: name, website, public email, and the specific reason [MY OFFER] matters to them.
Save everything to prospects.csv.
When you're done, tell @writer how many prospects you found.
You write the outreach emails. As soon as @prospector tells you prospects.csv is ready, read it.
Write one short, personal email per prospect, one file per email, in a drafts/ folder.
Don't send anything.
When everything is written, tell @manager how many drafts are ready.
You manage this team: @prospector finds the prospects, @writer writes the emails.
When I ask for an update, ask each of them for one line, then sum it up in three lines: done, blocked, next step.
Make a mod called team-room.
1. A /team command that opens a panel titled "Team". It shows every message this session sends to my other sessions or receives from them: the time, who, the first line. Newest on top.
2. A /standup command that asks @prospector and @writer, in one line, what they finished and what they're doing next. Each reply appears in the panel as soon as it arrives.
3. Keep the panel's history when the mod reloads.
Write it for my version of Claude Code, then run claude plugin validate and fix whatever comes up.
/standup.The mod that cuts your bill
Make a mod called saver that sends my simple requests to the cheapest model.
1. On each prompt, classify the request. Simple: fixing a typo, renaming, formatting, a short summary, a quick question. Complex: a plan, debugging, new code, several steps. When in doubt, it's complex.
2. For a simple request, send every request in that turn to the model claude-haiku-5-5, except subagents' requests, and only if my prompt is under 100,000 tokens. Everything else stays on my current model.
3. Above the prompt, show one line: the last model used, and an estimate of what I saved today, based on each request's tokens and list prices (Haiku 5.5: $0.10 input, $0.50 output, per million).
4. Add /saver on and /saver off.
Write it for my version of Claude Code, then run claude plugin validate and fix whatever comes up.
/saver off. On a subscription, the amount shown is still an estimate: your real measure is /usage.Your dashboard inside Claude Code
/mcp that the connector is there. Without it, the tab says so in one line and the rest works./hq as the command. Claude Code reserves the name /dashboard and refuses to register it for a mod (checked with the validator, version 2.1.318).Make a mod called dashboard.
1. A /hq command that opens a panel with three tabs:
- To do: a field to add a task, a button to tick off each task, a progress chart. The list carries over between sessions.
- To answer: emails from the last 24 hours I haven't replied to, read from my Gmail connector. One row per email: who, subject, how long ago. If there's no Gmail connector, say so in one line.
- Limits: my 5-hour and weekly usage limits, as two bars.
2. Above the prompt, a single line, for example: 3 to do · 2 to answer · 40% of my 5-hour limit.
3. Refresh the To answer tab every 10 minutes.
Write it for my version of Claude Code, then run claude plugin validate and fix whatever comes up.
More mods to add
rm -rf or a force push, shows what it would change, then lets you proceed or cancel./replay command that steps through the file edits from the last turn.git clone https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-playground
claude --plugin-dir claude-code-playground/claude-code/mods/blast-radius
Make a mod that shows my git branch above the prompt.
Make a mod that shows, above the prompt, how much context I have left, in red below 20%.
Make a mod that holds any git push to main and asks me to confirm with two buttons: proceed or cancel.
Make a mod that adds a /wrapup command: three lines on what was done in this session, written by Haiku 5.5 and appended to wrapup.md.
/diff is a mod. So is "You should know", a side agent you can turn on, which leaves a note above the prompt when it spots something you might have missed. Look in /plugin, Installed tab, under Built-in.Keep your mods, without the risk
cleanupPeriodDays setting).Copy every mod written in this session into ~/mods.
Turn ~/mods into a local marketplace called my-mods, and install each mod from it so it loads in all my sessions.
Then show me /plugin.
claude plugin validate ./some-mod runs nothing: the hooks: line lists what the mod listens for, the calls: line what it asks to do./plugin, Installed tab. All of them for one session: claude --safe-mode. All of them everywhere: "disableAllHooks": true in ~/.claude/settings.json.Where to start
Install one mod tonight. You want to see your costs drop: saver. You juggle several terminals: team-room. You want to open Claude Code like your home screen: dashboard.
To go further, the official mods documentation covers everything they can do, the mods published by Anthropic show how they're built, and the prices above come from the official Claude API pricing page.
