The mods
Eight mods and the pack that installs them. Each one waits for a particular moment in a session, and stays quiet the rest of the time.
While Claude works on your code
- cellsWhen Claude makes a few edits and runs the tests. They happen in one step, and every edit still shows as a diff you can undo. Taking it out made the pack 9% more expensive8.9% more expensive, 95% range 2.1 to 16.4% more expensive8.9% more expensive
95% range 2.1 to 16.4% more expensive
4 per condition on multi-step tasks, 2 on small ones
Opus 5.5, 13 Oct 2026. - lsp-plusWhen Claude searches your code for a name. The search comes back with the exact answer from the engine your editor uses. On a rename, a quarter fewer steps25% fewer steps25% fewer steps
No range in the source
7 per arm
Opus 5.5, 13 Oct 2026. - seekWhen Claude looks around before a change. It is asked, in your name, to look in few, lean steps. 12% cheaper11.9% cheaper, 95% range 5.9 to 17.2% cheaper11.9% cheaper
95% range 5.9 to 17.2% cheaper
20 per arm
Opus 5.5, 16 Oct 2026 in a fresh session, against the pack without it.
When the work can go to a cheaper model
- delegateWhen you approve a plan. A cheaper model builds it, and the result is checked before Claude reports. A planned feature 22% cheaper22% cheaper, 95% range 11 to 33% cheaper22% cheaper
95% range 11 to 33% cheaper
4 per task (8 hand-offs in 8 runs across both tasks)
Opus 5.5, worker as delegate picks, 13 Oct 2026. - routeWhen you ask for a feature or tests. The work goes to that cheaper model by itself. Off until you turn it on. A TypeScript feature 51% cheaper51% cheaper51% cheaper

4 per task and condition
Opus 5.5, worker Sonnet 5.5, 15 Oct 2026 than the pack alone.
While you work, and while you’re away
- statuslineWhile you work. One line under the prompt shows how full the conversation is and how much of your plan is left. Adds a view; nothing to measure.
- etaWhen a long job runs. A bar and a finish time appear above the prompt. Adds a view; nothing to measure.
- smart-compactWhen you step away. Your session is kept ready, or tidied up before it goes cold, whichever costs less. Worked out from prices, not measured.
The pack itself
- modpackInstalls the others, switches them, keeps them current.
/modsturns any of them off or on, right away. Stops waiting for a hanging hook after 10 seconds10 s10 s

How they fit together
The mods never call each other. Each finds the others through Claude Code itself, and works alone when they are missing.
statusline is the line the others write on: smart-compact adds its ready or cold there. lsp-plus warms each language’s server at the start, so cells and delegate meet a warm server when they ask it. route gives delegate’s order for feature and test prompts, and seek’s setting rides with the same prompt.
What makes the cut
A mod joins the pack only when:
- it was measured, and every graded run stayed correct;
- it saves cost or time, makes the work more reliable, or only adds a view;
- it works with the other mods and without them, and each part can be switched off;
- it stays quiet where it has no proof that speaking helps.
Every option of every mod is in the README.
