Clot code just dropped mods and it is the biggest update since skills. Here’s what a mod actually is. If there’s something you wish Clot Code did or had, you just tell it and it builds it into itself. Whether it’s new panels, new buttons, new commands, new screens, mods essentially make your cloth code as customizable as you want it to be. And in the last few days, people have built hundreds of mods. Most of them are junk. A few of them I’m never turning off again. So, in this video, I’ll show you the five mods everyone should be installing. Some of them will save you money, and I’ll show you how to build your own in about 2 minutes. Let’s get started. Okay, so real quick, Cloud Code announced mods last week. Here’s the announcement itself. A mod is a tiny plugin that runs inside of Cloud Code, not around it like a skill or a connector, but inside of it. Here’s an example of one of the mods I’ve installed running literally on my Cloud Code screen so it can watch what Claude’s about to do, change it or stop it cold, and it can draw its own stuff right onto your screen. You install them the same way you install any plugin. Uh you can type in /plugin or open the plug-in menu and you can turn them on or off accordingly. And they work inside of two places. The Claude Code app, the desktop app, or inside of a Claude Code terminal window. So, let me show you the first one I’d install before anything else. This one’s called Next Steps, and it’s from one of Anthropic’s own engineers, and I absolutely love it. And again, to install it, literally all you need to do is copy this and paste it into your cloud code window. And this is what it does. Every time clock finishes a turn, I’m going to run a prompt just to show you. A little panel pops up at the bottom with three suggestions or what to do next. You don’t even have to type anything. It understands what you’re doing and based on that, it suggests what you can or should do next. You just click whichever one you want. So here it’s suggesting me one of these actions that I could do next based on the prompt I’ve given it. I can select let’s say this one and boom it’s past it as prompt and all I can do is just press enter and it goes. This one’s called cache control. Let me show you what it does. So here’s the thing most people don’t realize about cloud code. Your whole conversation is cached. Every time you send a message, you’re not paying full price to resend the entire chat as long as that cash is warm. But it only stays warm for about 60 minutes. So if you step away from your clawed session and come back 60 minutes later, then you pay full price for that entire conversation. Again, this mod right here, ash control, puts a timer right on your screen. Right now, I’ve got about 55 minutes before it goes cold. So I know I can fire off a message now or just let it go. And I want to show you how customizable these are. So if I want to, for example, edit a mod like this one, I can just ask it in plain English. So let’s do I want to add a clear cache button to my cache control mod so that when I click it, it clears cache and starts fresh. And it sends the chat a handoff brief. And it also shows us how much of our cash is still free as well as how it’s being used. I’m gonna let this run and come back in just a minute. All right, so it’s done just that. So I’m gonna put in reload plugins. Reloaded plugins. And now if I type something in, there you go. We now have a reset button built right into our clot code too. So, if I’m about to run out and my context is getting heavy or if I’m about to pass my 1h hour context timer, I can press just one button and it clears the conversation for me and starts one with all the relevant information from a clean state. So, here you go. I can press it. Let’s test it out. Handing off and boom, handoff arrived. It cleared the session. It pasted everything it needed to know from the context before. and we’re back on a clean slate on a big session. That cash going cold can cost you a few dollars every single time. This just saved you a few dollars. But money is one thing. The next one is about your sanity while Claude’s actually working. Number three is called plan progress and you install this one straight from a marketplace. You know how when Claude’s working, your screen just fills with code and tools calling flying by and you genuinely can’t tell how far along it is. This kills all of it because instead you get a clean checklist and a clean progress bar with a percentage and it shows you where in the process it is. Is it auditing, researching, planning? There you go. Look at that. It’s progressing and we can see the steps ahead as well. rank the opportunities. We can see it complete them one by one and how much of that task is left. I mean, this is a small thing, but when you’re running something that takes a few minutes, being able to glance and know it’s at like 70% done instead of frozen, that is the difference between trusting it and having to babysit it essentially. And this mod also does something that I absolutely love. When Claude is done with a task, it makes a little popup noise like And if you use cloth code a lot, you know how often you’d be typing something into it, going to something else, going to a chat window. There you go. I don’t know if you heard it or if it was recording, but imagine that. Imagine you’re working. you’re going to a meeting or you’re typing on Slack to your team and you have to keep scrolling back and forth and back and forth between your cloud code window and the other thing that you’re doing and you never really know when a task is done. This just fixes that just by making that small helpful sound. Now, every mod I’ve shown you so far, somebody else built, but the real power here is building your own. And it’s easier than you’d think. So, let me show you. Here’s the part that makes mods different from everything before them. You don’t need to find the perfect one for you. You just describe what you want and Claude builds it into itself. Claude Code already ships with a built-in skill that teaches it how to write mods. So, you literally just talk to it. And here’s the best way to get started. You don’t have to guess what to build. You can let Claude look at how you work and tell you. So you can paste in this exact prompt right here. Audit how I actually use clot code. Read my last 20 sessions and find three things, the questions I keep asking you for the commands and how I check your work. Then suggest five mods that would fix those or enhance my workflow. Show me the ideas first. Do not build anything until I pick one. Here we go. And a minute later, we got this along with the questions we keep asking, the commands we keep giving, how we check our work, and the five ideas. Now, look at all of these mods coming in together. The progress bar lets us know, you know, as soon as the prompt is done, and then the next steps mod gives us the suggestions. We can literally just press let me go through them. This one is very helpful, the prompt deck, the prompts that I keep using the most. I’m actually going to go for that gopher number four. I love it. And with that, it’s going to build me that mod just for me, a custom mod for myself. And once it’s done, make sure to tell it to save it and install it. That way, it’s live and available on every single session and every single time that you open Claude. Just made the sound so I knew to come back and check in. And there we go. Just like that. Absolutely. the install prompt tech permanently. There we go. Just like that, it gave me V1 of this. What I would do to even enhance it more is make it pop up somewhere like here uh in a better UI cuz right now what it did and I like V1 because it gives me the templates that I would otherwise have to go into my notes, copy, paste, so on and so forth. Okay, back to the list because this next one is one of the most important mods in this whole video. Number four is called Blast Radius, and this one’s from Anthropic as well. Here’s the problem it fixes. Cloth code can run real commands on your machine, which is amazing, right up until it decides to run something on the wrong folder and deletes something you actually needed. Blast Radius steps in before any destructive command runs. So, the second Claude’s about to delete something or force push, it stops and it shows you exactly what’s about to disappear, like we can see in this photo. And then it waits and asks you to proceed or cancel. But this is one that nobody thinks they need until the day they really, really need it. It’s essentially a seat belt. You put it on before the crash, not after. And the last one on this list is pure quality of life. So, let me show you. Number five is called the image viewer. So, normally if Claude generates or pulls in an image or a screenshot, you can’t actually see it in the terminal. You’ve got to go dig to the file and open it for yourself. This mod just lets you actually see the images just like that. I’ve went ahead and installed it. And if I take a screenshot, for example, here, paste it in. There we go. We can see it the moment that I put it in. Look, I know this is a small mod and it’s mostly for the terminal window, not the desktop app. But if you touch images at all in your work, not having to leave the window adds up faster than you’d think. And before I wrap, there’s one more I have to show you just because it’s ridiculously funny. Okay, honorable mention. This one is completely useless and I love it for that reason. The same creator who made the previous mod actually built a mod so that every time you’re sitting there waiting for Claude to finish a task, it drops you into a multiplayer game of Doom. Let me go ahead and mute it with other people who are also just waiting for Claude to finish their task. I mean, that’s the whole point, right? It’s your clot code now. You can make it do whatever you want. So, just have fun. For the first time, clot code isn’t a tool you take as is. It’s a tool you shape. I’ve been waiting for this for month now and it’s finally here. So, tell me in the comments which one are you installing first. Oh, and all of these five mods that I’ve shown you, their install commands and that exact audit prompt. I’ve included all of these for free in the first link inside the description.
