Best Claude Code plugins and mods by category
These lists rebuild themselves from GitHub every day. They rank Claude Code mods by the stars on their repository and take one mod per repository, so a big repository full of examples can't fill a list on its own.
Lists updated
Stars belong to the whole repository, not to one mod in it. Treat them as a sign that people found the project useful, and read the source before you install anything. New to plugins? Start with how to install one.
Best status line mods

jev-auto-mode
0.1.0
A permission layer driven by a JSON policy: allow, ask or deny every tool call (Bash, edits, web, MCP, subagents, skills), every slash command or skill you type, and every skill preloaded into a subagent.

cache-clock
0.1.1
A prompt-cache line under your status line, from Claude Code's own cache figures: time left while warm, hit rate and misses, and how many tokens the next message re-caches once cold. /cache-clock setup adds it.

diff

pet
0.2.0
A virtual pet above the Claude Code prompt that grows as Claude works: passing tests, commits and edits grant XP and mood, failing tests cost mood, idling drains it; egg → baby → kid → adult → legend. Zero tokens. Split out of cc-arcade (MIT, Seza Akgün). Needs an interactive terminal.
