Mods are small TypeScript functions that can rewrite prompts, add or replace UI elements, or add new functionality. They run inside plugins and can be installed via the CLI or desktop app.\n\nDevelopers can write their own mods or ask Claude Code to generate one. Mods are not sandboxed, so users should only install them from trusted sources. The system emits events for actions such as calling a tool or drawing part of the screen, and a mod can hook into these events to run before, after, or instead of the original action.\n\nSome built‑in features, like the /diff command, are now shipped as mods, allowing users to enable or replace them. Admins on Team and Enterprise plans can control which mods load first, including a security‑default mod that blocks risky changes. The feature is available today in the CLI and desktop app.","keyPoints":["Mods are TypeScript functions that modify Claude Code behavior","Mods ship inside plugins and install via CLI or desktop app","Built‑in features like /diff now ship as mods and can be replaced"],"whyItMatters":"Mods give developers granular control over Claude Code’s UI and functionality, enabling custom workflows and tighter security.
