README
Claude Code mods: field notes from day one (Windows · Thai)
One long session of building Claude Code mods on Windows 11, written up honestly: **what shipped, what I tried and threw away, and why**. Most mod repos only show the finished screenshot. This one also keeps the failures, because they say more about the mod API than the wins do.
**Status: two weeks of daily use.** Built on Claude Code 2.1.291 (2026-10-06). Still loading, with every test passing, on 2.1.306 (2026-10-21), after 12 updates and no change needed for the engine. Tested on one machine: Windows 11, Windows Terminal 1.24, Cascadia Code, a cream background (`#F2F0DA`), 134 columns, fullscreen mode. The mod API is still new and may change under you. Issues welcome.
| Piece | Status | One-line lesson |
|---|---|---|
| fuel-bar | in daily use | The engine gives you context, auto-compact threshold and rate limits for free after every turn. No polling, no tokens. |
| thai-mode | in daily use | You can re-render tool rows, groups, spinner and turn duration. You cannot touch the prompt box. |
| task-band | in daily use | The engine tells a mod when an agent ends right away, but shell/monitor/workflow ends only reach it at the next tool call while Claude is busy. And there is no progress % for anything. |
| paste-peek | in daily use | The mod API can draw images only through the kitty protocol, which Windows Terminal lacks. A tiny native window beside the terminal does the job, and Claude Code already saves each pasted image to disk before you send. |
| git-band | in daily use | Two bands in AbovePrompt hide each other unless each one awaits next(e) and stacks the result. The engine has no git events, so the mod works out which repos the session touched from the tool calls |
