Claude Code mods: examples and custom plugin tutorial

The presenter explains Claude Code mods as plugins that customize the coding assistant's behavior and interface. He describes ways to act before an event, replace the action, run afterward, or wrap it with steps on both sides. Hypothetical file-deletion examples include previewing affected files, moving them to the recycle bin, and making a backup for undo.

The walkthrough then covers a next-steps pane that suggests actions after Claude builds a habit tracker. Options include committing the work or polishing the design. Another example adds a cache countdown and a button to compact the conversation. The presenter says mods apply to both the desktop app and terminal; the cache timing and billing explanation reflect his account of the service.

For a custom mod, he recommends asking Claude Code to read the last 30 sessions, identify repeated requests, and suggest five mods. His audit returns ideas such as project tracking, dictation fixes, and an undo module. He describes selecting an idea, having Claude create and install a plugin, then reloading plugins. According to the presenter, an installed mod runs automatically until disabled or removed. The tutorial concerns Claude Code customization and does not demonstrate running a model locally.
