Claude Mods released: handing Claude Code's interface layer to user-modified code
Decision Brief

Why it mattersMods turn Claude Code's execution and rendering flow into interceptable middleware, letting developers customize when they get interrupted and what they see to match their attention habits—at the cost of mods running with user privileges and without sandbox isolation.

Claude Mods is a plugin format for Claude Code: composed of TypeScript or JavaScript functions running inside Claude Code, it responds to events such as prompts, tool calls, and interface rendering, and can observe events, rewrite render output, or fully take over default behavior—essentially middleware for the agent harness. Anthropic ships 6 built-in mods, including agents-md, diff, plugin-authoring, sec-default, telemetry, and the default-off you-should-know. Claude Code includes a skill for writing mods, so users can describe their needs in natural language and have Claude generate one.
