Claude Code Just Dropped Mods: Here Are 5 You Need

0:00Cloth Code just dropped mods and it is

0:03the biggest update since Skills. Here's

0:05what a mod actually is. If there's

0:08something you wish Clot Code did or had,

0:11you just tell it and it builds it into

0:14itself. Whether it's new panels, new

0:16buttons, new commands, new screens, mods

0:20essentially make your cloth code as

0:22customizable as you want it to be. And

0:25in the last few days, people have built

0:27hundreds of mods. Most of them are junk.

0:30A few of them I'm never turning off

0:32again. So, in this video, I'll show you

0:34the five mods everyone should be

0:36installing. Some of them will save you

0:38money, and I'll show you how to build

0:40your own in about 2 minutes. Let's get

0:43started. Okay, so real quick, Cloud Code

0:46announced mods last week. Here's the

0:48announcement itself. A mod is a tiny

0:51plugin that runs inside of Cloud Code,

0:53not around it like a skill or a

0:55connector, but inside of it. Here's an

0:57example of one of the mods I've

0:59installed running literally on my Cloud

1:02Code screen. So, it can watch what

1:03Claude's about to do, change it, or stop

1:06it cold, and it can draw its own stuff

1:09right onto your screen. You install them

1:12the same way you install any plugin. Uh,

1:14you can type in /plugin or open the

1:17plug-in menu and you can turn them on or

1:20off accordingly. And they work inside of

1:22two places. The claw code app, the

1:25desktop app, or inside of a clot code

1:27terminal window. So, let me show you the

1:29first one I'd install before anything

1:31else. This one's called Next Steps, and

1:34it's from one of Anthropic's own

1:36engineers, and I absolutely love it. And

1:38again, to install it, literally all you

1:40need to do is copy this and paste it

1:42into your cloud code window. And this is

1:45what it does. Every time Claude finishes

1:48a turn, I'm going to run a prompt just

1:51to show you. A little panel pops up at

1:53the bottom with three suggestions for

1:56what to do next. You don't even have to

1:59type anything. It understands what

2:01you're doing and based on that, it

2:03suggests what you can or should do next.

2:06You just click whichever one you want.

2:08So here, it's suggesting me one of these

2:09actions that I could do next. based on

2:11the prompt I've given it. I can select,

2:14let's say, this one and boom, it's

2:17pasted it as prompt and all I can do is

2:19just press enter and it goes. This one's

2:21called cache control. Let me show you

2:23what it does. So, here's the thing most

2:26people don't realize about cloud code.

2:28Your whole conversation is cached. Every

2:31time you send a message, you're not

2:34paying full price to resend the entire

2:36chat as long as that cash is warm. But

2:39it only stays warm for about 60 minutes.

2:43So if you step away from your clawed

2:45session and come back 60 minutes later,

2:48then you pay full price for that entire

2:50conversation. Again, this mod right

2:52here, hash control, puts a timer right

2:56on your screen. Right now, I've got

2:58about 55 minutes before it goes cold. So

3:02I know I can fire off a message now or

3:04just let it go. And I want to show you

3:07how customizable these are. So if I want

3:10to, for example, edit a mod like this

3:12one, I can just ask it in plain English.

3:15So let's do I want to add a clear cache

3:18button to my cache control mod so that

3:21when I click it, it clears cache and

3:23starts fresh. And it sends the chat a

3:26handoff brief. And it also shows us how

3:28much of our cash is still free as well

3:31as how it's being used. I'm going to let

3:33this run and come back in just a minute.

3:36All right, so it's done just that. So,

3:37I'm going to put in reload plugins.

3:40Reloaded plugins. And now, if I type

3:43something in, there you go. We now have

3:45a reset button built right into our

3:48cloth code, too. So, if I'm about to run

3:51out and my context is getting heavy or

3:54if I'm about to pass my 1h hour context

3:56timer, I can press just one button and

3:59it clears the conversation for me and

4:01starts one with all the relevant

4:03information from a clean state. So, here

4:05you go. I can press it. Let's test it

4:07out. Handing off and boom, handoff

4:10arrived. It cleared the session. It

4:12pasted everything it needed to know from

4:14the context before and we're back on a

4:17clean slate on a big session. That cash

4:20going cold can cost you a few dollars

4:23every single time. This just saved you a

4:25few dollars. But money is one thing. The

4:28next one is about your sanity while

4:30Cloud's actually working. Number three

4:33is called plan progress and you install

4:35this one straight from a marketplace.

4:38You know how when Claude's working, your

4:40screen just fills with code and tools

4:43calling flying by and you genuinely

4:47can't tell how far along it is. This

4:49kills all of it because instead you get

4:52a clean checklist and a clean progress

4:55bar with a percentage and it shows you

4:57where in the process it is. Is it

4:59auditing, researching, planning? There

5:01you go. Look at that. It's progressing

5:04and we can see the steps ahead as well.

5:07rank the opportunities. We can see it

5:09complete them one by one and how much of

5:11that task is left. I mean, this is a

5:14small thing, but when you're running

5:15something that takes a few minutes,

5:17being able to glance and know it's at

5:19like 70% done instead of frozen, that is

5:23the difference between trusting it and

5:25having to babysit it essentially. And

5:27this mod also does something that I

5:29absolutely love. When Claude is done

5:31with a task, it makes a little pop-up

5:34noise like And if you use cloth code a

5:37lot, you know how often you'd be typing

5:39something into it, going to something

5:42else, going to a chat window.

5:45There you go. I don't know if you heard

5:47it or if it was recording, but imagine

5:49that. Imagine you're working. you're

5:51going to a meeting or you're typing on

5:53Slack to your team and you have to keep

5:56scrolling back and forth and back and

5:58forth between your cloud code window and

6:00the other thing that you're doing and

6:02you never really know when a task is

6:04done. This just fixes that just by

6:06making that small helpful sound. Now,

6:09every mod I've shown you so far somebody

6:12else built, but the real power here is

6:15building your own. And it's easier than

6:17you think. So, let me show you. Here's

6:20the part that makes mods different from

6:22everything before them. You don't need

6:24to find the perfect one for you. You

6:27just describe what you want and Claude

6:29builds it into itself. Claude Code

6:32already ships with a built-in skill that

6:34teaches it how to write mods. So, you

6:37literally just talk to it. And here's

6:39the best way to get started. You don't

6:41have to guess what to build. You can let

6:44Claude look at how you work and tell

6:46you. So, you can paste in this exact

6:49prompt right here. Audit how I actually

6:52use clot code. Read my last 20 sessions

6:55and find three things, the questions I

6:57keep asking you for the commands and how

6:59I check your work. Then suggest five

7:02mods that would fix those or enhance my

7:04workflow. Show me the ideas first. Do

7:07not build anything until I pick one.

7:09There we go. And a minute later, we got

7:12this along with the questions we keep

7:14asking, the commands we keep giving, how

7:17we check our work, and the five ideas.

7:20Now, look at all of these mods coming in

7:22together. The progress bar lets us know,

7:25you know, as soon as the prompt is done,

7:28and then the next steps mod gives us the

7:30suggestions. We can literally just press

7:32let me go through them. This one is very

7:35helpful. The prompt deck, the prompts

7:37that I keep using the most. I'm actually

7:39going to go for that. Go for number

7:43four. I love it. And with that, it's

7:46going to build me that mod just for me,

7:48a custom mod for myself. And once it's

7:51done, make sure to tell it to save it

7:53and install it. That way, it's live and

7:56available on every single session and

7:58every single time that you open Claude.

8:00Just made the sound so I knew to come

8:02back and check in. And there we go. Just

8:05like that. Absolutely. install prompt

8:07tech permanently. There we go. Just like

8:10that, it gave me V1 of this. What I

8:13would do to even enhance it more is make

8:17it pop up somewhere like here uh in a

8:20better UI cuz right now what it did and

8:23I like V1 because it gives me the

8:26templates that I would otherwise have to

8:28go into my notes, copy, paste, so on and

8:31so forth. Okay, back to the list because

8:34this next one is one of the most

8:36important mods in this whole video.

8:38Number four is called Blast Radius and

8:41this one's from Anthropic as well.

8:44Here's the problem it fixes. Cloth code

8:46can run real commands on your machine

8:49which is amazing right up until it

8:51decides to run something on the wrong

8:54folder and deletes something you

8:55actually needed. Blast radius steps in

8:58before any destructive command runs. So,

9:00the second Claude's about to delete

9:02something or force push, it stops and it

9:06shows you exactly what's about to

9:08disappear, like we can see in this

9:10photo. And then it waits and asks you to

9:12proceed or cancel. Look, this is one

9:15that nobody thinks they need until the

9:18day they really, really need it. It's

9:21essentially a seat belt. You put it on

9:23before the crash, not after. And the

9:26last one on this list is pure quality of

9:28life. So, let me show you. Number five

9:31is called the image viewer. So, normally

9:34if Claude generates or pulls in an image

9:36or a screenshot, you can't actually see

9:39it in the terminal. You've got to go dig

9:42to the file and open it for yourself.

9:44This mod just lets you actually see the

9:47images just like that. I've went ahead

9:49and installed it. And if I take a

9:51screenshot, for example, here, paste it

9:53in. There we go. We can see it the

9:56moment that I put it in. Look, I know

9:58this is a small mod and it's mostly for

10:00the terminal window, not the desktop

10:02app. But if you touch images at all in

10:05your work, not having to leave the

10:07window adds up faster than you'd think.

10:10And before I wrap, there's one more I

10:12have to show you just because it's

10:14ridiculously funny. Okay, honorable

10:16mention. This one is completely useless

10:18and I love it for that reason. The same

10:21creator who made the previous mod

10:23actually built a mod so that every time

10:25you're sitting there waiting for Claude

10:27to finish a task, it drops you into a

10:30multiplayer game of Doom. Let me go

10:32ahead and mute it with other people who

10:35are also just waiting for Claude to

10:37finish their task. I mean, that's the

10:39whole point, right? It's your clot code

10:41now. You can make it do whatever you

10:43want. So, just have fun. For the first

10:46time, clot code isn't a tool you take

10:49asis. It's a tool you shape. I've been

10:52waiting for this for months now and it's

10:55finally here. So, tell me in the

10:57comments which one are you installing

11:00first. Oh, and all of these five mods

11:02that I've shown you, their install

11:04commands and that exact audit prompt.

11:07I've included all of these for free in
