cs
cs's in-session mod: the rotate band above the prompt, forced rotation past CS_ROTATE_FORCE_CTX, and the wrap key
What it does
- Draws a band above the prompt, a pane, toasts
- Adds /queue, /clear
- Hooks prompt.submit, session.start, skill.prompt, turn.complete and 1 more
- Starts processes
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 cs by cs (pane, band, toast), as ModsCode read it from the mod's code:
// https://modscode.com/claude-mods/mods/hex-cs/
// 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.

// the band above the prompt; what else goes there is drawn under it

Read from the source at commit 3620edbfe335 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.

| 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.its repository's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json does not list it: no marketplace line to give; the page shows how to try the commit read |

| Writes, by name | The files and environment variables it names, and whether it changes settings, the prompt box, the clipboard, the conversation (a row the model reads) or another session.files: …/…, a path computed at run time |
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.
Its repository's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json does not list it, so there is no marketplace line to give.
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/hex/claude-sessionsgit -C claude-sessions checkout 3620edbfe33539364dda645fbb9242b95c4170d9claude plugin validate claude-sessions/mods/csclaude --plugin-dir claude-sessions/mods/csThe 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 "hex-cs" with its code and make me one like itSearch them from Claude: the MCP connector
