ModsCode / Claude Code Mods / Ranking / handily-board
handily-board
A board with two tabs: this session shows the task list that Claude and you share, and this machine shows every local session, the ones that wait for you first. /board opens it, and four model tools keep the list.
What it does
- Draws a pane
- Adds /board
- Watches tool calls and can refuse them
- Hooks agent.spawn, prompt.compose, prompt.submit, session.end 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)
import type { Register } from 'claude-code'
// Drawn like handily-board by niksavis (pane, toast), as ModsCode read it from the mod's code:
// https://modscode.com/claude-mods/mods/niksavis-handily-board/
// 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 => {

Read from the source at commit 57fb326372ff. 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.

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 niksavis/handily/plugin install handily-board@niksavis/reload-pluginsThis installs the marketplace's latest commit, which may not be the one read here (57fb326372ff). 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/niksavis/handilygit -C handily checkout 57fb326372ff59ed82bf6707db49fef770e05c51claude plugin validate handily/mods/handily-boardclaude --plugin-dir handily/mods/handily-boardThe 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 "niksavis-handily-board" with its code and make me one like itAdd the ModsCode MCP to Claude or ChatGPT
