ModsCode / Claude Code Mods / Ranking / snapshots
snapshots
Whole-tree time travel: a git snapshot of every non-ignored file before each turn, with diff, restore and /undo, never touching HEAD, the index or the stash.
What it does
- Draws a pane, toasts
- Adds /snapshots, /undo
- Hooks session.start, turn.complete, turn.start
- Keeps its own state between turns
- Starts processes
Good points
- No network calls
- Written in TypeScript
- Has a desktop-specific branch
- 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 snapshots by mako-code (pane, toast), as ModsCode read it from the mod's code:
// https://modscode.com/claude-mods/mods/mako-code-snapshots/
// 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.
export const register: Register = on => {
// the pane: open it with $.ui.open({ id: 'my-pane', title: "Snapshots" })

What its code shows
Read from the source at commit ec6ea2383749 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.mods/memory/snapshots/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 |

| 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.git (reaches the network) |
| 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 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 |

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 mako-code/gobworks/plugin install snapshots@gobworks/reload-pluginsThis installs the marketplace's latest commit, which may not be the one read here (ec6ea2383749). 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/mako-code/gobworksgit -C gobworks checkout ec6ea23837494b5b13124caa186450be8b42bf2dclaude plugin validate gobworks/mods/memory/snapshotsclaude --plugin-dir gobworks/mods/memory/snapshotsThe 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 "mako-code-snapshots" with its code and make me one like itSearch them from Claude: the MCP connector
