spawn-pane by eddyficial: Claude Code mod code

What it does

Draws a pane, toasts
Adds /workers, /standup
Watches tool calls and can refuse them
Hooks prompt.submit, session.start
Keeps its own state between turns

Good points

No network calls
Written in TypeScript
Handles errors

Code to start from

A starter ModsCode writes from the drawing it read, and the mod's own lines that draw, where there are any.

Starter (register.tsx)

import type { Register } from 'claude-code'

// Drawn like spawn-pane by Eddy Ogutu (pane, status, toast), as ModsCode read it from the mod's code:
// https://modscode.com/claude-mods/mods/eddyficial-spawn-pane/
// Written by ModsCode from that reading, not copied from the mod: use it as you like.
// Each value below stands for one the mod works out at run time; put in your own.

How to build this: Pane (panel), Deny a tool call

What its code calls

runs programswrites filesenv varstool callsremembers

What its code shows

Read from the source at commit 97f3b3ac2e0f on 2026-10-11. The first group decides whether a mod is listed; the rest is for you to weigh. A later commit is not read until the next crawl.

Decides the listing: code you can check
Entry read	Every module hooks/hooks.json names was read.hooks/register.tsx
Parses	Every file parses as TypeScript or JavaScript.3 files parsed
All its code is in the mod	Every import is a file of the mod or the engine's own module; no packages, no require.all its code is in the mod
Readable	No minified lines, no eval or new Function, no import of a computed path, no encoded blobs.no minified code, no eval, no encoded blobs
Calls in the open	Network and programs are reached as $.http.fetch and $.process.run in place, never passed around.every call outside goes through $ in the open
For you to weigh before installing
Where it draws	The terminal, the desktop app, both, or nothing (hooks only: a guard or a prompt rewriter), as its code says. Shown, never a reason to leave a mod out.draws in the terminal and the desktop app, the same in both
Install line	Whether its repository's own .claude-plugin/marketplace.json lists it, so it installs from that marketplace with the lines on its page.listed in its repository's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: installs from there
Programs on Windows	Whether every program it starts through $.process exists on Windows (tail, date, open, osascript, /usr/… do not).runs no program a Windows PC lacks
Network	Whether every fetch names its https host in the code.no network
Programs	Whether every program it starts is named in the code and is not a shell, an interpreter or a network tool.hooks/register.tsx:155 a program named at run time; hooks/register.tsx:183 a program named at run time; hooks/register.tsx:192 a program named at run time; hooks/register.tsx:596 a program named at run time; hooks/register.tsx:616 a program named at run time
Reads and sends	Whether it both reads something of yours (files, environment variables, the transcript, settings) and reaches outside (the network, an MCP server, another session, telemetry).reads environment variables and files and reaches the network
Keys in the source	Whether the source holds what looks like an API key or a private key.no keys in the source
Licence	An open licence (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD, ISC, Unlicense, 0BSD, CC0) with its text lets ModsCode show its code; otherwise the code is linked.MIT

This is a reading of the code text, not a security review: it does not run the mod, and it cannot see what a program the mod starts does. The check before installing is yours. How mods are chosen

Install it

Check it yourself before you install it. Mods run unsandboxed, with your permissions, and ModsCode does not vouch for what this code does. Read its code (or run claude plugin validate . in its folder), weigh what it reaches, and install the commit you read.

From its marketplace

Its repository is its marketplace. Add that marketplace (in the terminal with these commands, or in the desktop app's plugin settings) and install the mod from it:

/plugin marketplace add eddyficial/spawn-pane

/plugin install spawn-pane@spawn-pane

/reload-plugins

This installs the marketplace's latest commit, which may not be the one read here (97f3b3ac2e0f). Compare them before you install. /reload-plugins loads it into a session that is already open.

Try the commit ModsCode read

No marketplace needed. In a terminal, clone the repository, check out the commit read, validate the mod, and load it for one session:

git clone https://github.com/eddyficial/spawn-pane

git -C spawn-pane checkout 97f3b3ac2e0f8b3084ae61cca3d260848328a369

claude plugin validate spawn-pane

claude --plugin-dir spawn-pane

The validate line lists the events the mod hooks and what it asks Claude Code to do, without running it. The last line loads the mod for this session only and writes nothing to your settings. If the author has rewritten history, the commit may no longer exist.

Ask Claude about it

With the ModsCode connector added, Claude can read this mod's code and what it reaches, and build on them. Ask it like this:

Read the ModsCode mod "eddyficial-spawn-pane" with its code and make me one like it

Search them from Claude: the MCP connector
