Claude Code mods: build, install and customize

This tutorial presents Claude Code mods as add-ons that change the coding assistant's interface and behavior. The speaker distinguishes them from skills, which guide tasks, and connectors, which link external apps. The presenter says the examples require version 2.1.287 or newer and work in the terminal and desktop app's Code tab, excluding regular Claude chat.

The examples include Clean View, which replaces technical output with a checklist, and Employee Control Panel, which adds model and effort controls. Agent Dock lets the speaker choose a helper team and inspect progress cards. He warns that larger teams consume plan allowances faster. A separate session bar switches between active sessions.

The sponsored Higgsfield example adds photo and video controls inside Claude. The speaker selects Nano Banana Pro for a 16:9 image at 4K and requires credit approval before generation. Road Trip adds a racing game with Claude quiz questions while work runs.

For setup, the speaker describes requesting a mod in plain language, accepting a reload, then asking for revisions. He says generated mods are temporary until saved and installed as plugins. Mods carry no extra fee in his account, but require a paid plan that includes Claude Code and can consume subscription credits while running.
