pulse-filetree

An IDE-style file tree for Claude Code that shows what Claude is doing and where in files

Code you can checkTerminal + desktopPaneToastBoxButtonClientInputText
runs programs, draws

What it does

  • Draws a pane, toasts
  • Adds /filetree
  • Watches Read calls
  • Hooks classic.CwdChanged, classic.FileChanged, classic.SessionStart, prompt.attachment and 5 more
  • Keeps its own state between turns

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)

register.tsx
import type { Register } from 'claude-code'

// Drawn like pulse-filetree by Kurt Buhler (pane, toast), as ModsCode read it from the mod's code:
// https://modscode.com/claude-mods/mods/mrvalraven-pulse-filetree/
// 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.

Programs on WindowsWhether every program it starts through $.process exists on Windows (tail, date, open, osascript, /usr/… do not).pulse-filetree/hooks/register.tsx:127 uname (not on Windows); pulse-filetree/hooks/register.tsx:351 find (not on Windows); pulse-filetree/hooks/register.tsx:375 touch (not on Windows); pulse-filetree/hooks/register.tsx:410 du (not on Windows); pulse-filetree/hooks/register.tsx:786 rm (not on Windows)
NetworkWhether every fetch names its https host in the code.no network
ProgramsWhether every program it starts is named in the code and is not a shell, an interpreter or a network tool.pulse-filetree/hooks/register.tsx:906 sh (a shell or interpreter); pulse-filetree/hooks/register.tsx:916 a program named at run time; pulse-filetree/hooks/register.tsx:1006 a program named at run time; pulse-filetree/hooks/register.tsx:1015 sh (a shell or interpreter)
Reads and sendsWhether 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, files and reaches the network
Keys in the sourceWhether the source holds what looks like an API key or a private key.no keys in the source
LicenceAn 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
Settings hooksHooks declared in hooks/hooks.json or plugin.json beside the module: a command (a shell when it has no args), an HTTP request, an MCP tool or a model prompt at an event. They run outside $.no settings hooks: its function hooks alone
Servers it shipsMCP servers (a program, or a URL; a headersHelper is a shell command; a .mcpb bundle is unpacked at run time), LSP servers, monitors (a shell command for the whole session) and bin/ (on the PATH of the Bash tool).ships no MCP or LSP server, no monitor, no bin/
Skills, commands, agentsWhat its Markdown declares beyond text: allowed-tools granted for the turn, hooks added when a skill is invoked, a command run before Claude reads the skill.no skills, commands, agents or workflows
Tools and MCPWhether every tool it calls through $.tool.call and $.mcp.call is named in the code, and none is a shell (Bash through the tool runs a shell without $.process).calls no tool, MCP server or command
Asks of the modelCompletions it runs ($.model.complete, fork, classify), subagents it spawns, prompts it submits as you, and the tools, commands and agents it adds.adds command filetree
Events it hooksBy what a hook there can do: gates (refuse a tool call, a prompt, a setting, another plugin), shapes (what the model reads: the system prompt, tool descriptions, each request), reads (your input, the events of the settings hooks, every event with *), and the rest.gates: command.run (filetree), tool.call (Read), prompt.submit · reads: ui.message, classic.SessionStart, classic.CwdChanged, classic.FileChanged, prompt.attachment · also: session.start, ui.focus (Pane), ui.scroll (Pane), ui.render (Pane) · timers: clock.after, clock.every
Reads, by nameThe environment variables and files it names, and whether it reads the transcript, settings.json, the prompt box or the mouse selection.env: OS, TMPDIR, HERDR_ENV, HERDR_BIN_PATH, HOME (+3); files: a path computed at run time, …/…
Writes, by nameThe 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.the clipboard

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 MrValraven/pulse-mods
/plugin install pulse-filetree@pulse-mods
/reload-plugins

This installs the marketplace's latest commit, which may not be the one read here (5d1454ecadbe). 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/MrValraven/pulse-mods
git -C pulse-mods checkout 5d1454ecadbe81ad3b198fcfb916218b96c4d04b
claude plugin validate pulse-mods/pulse-filetree
claude --plugin-dir pulse-mods/pulse-filetree

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 or ChatGPT about it

With ModsCode added as a connector, Claude or ChatGPT can read this mod's code, what it reaches and how its controls are wired, and build on them. Ask it like this:

Read the ModsCode mod "mrvalraven-pulse-filetree" with its code and make me one like it

Add the ModsCode MCP to Claude or ChatGPT
