chatroom
One public, unmoderated chat room for everyone with this mod. It shows on the right of the screen while Claude works and hides when Claude waits for you. Messages go to a chat server; nothing from the room reaches Claude.
What it does
- Draws a pane, a band above the prompt
- Hooks session.start, turn.complete, turn.start, ui.close
- Keeps its own state between turns
- Calls the network
Good points
- Starts no processes
- Written in TypeScript
- Handles errors
- Writes no files
Code to start from
Two kinds: a starter modscode writes from the design above, and the lines of the mod's own code that draw it.
Starter (register.tsx)
import type { Register } from 'claude-code'
// Drawn like chatroom by Adam Roman (pane, band), as modscode read it from the mod's code:
// https://modscode.com/gallery/adamnroman-chatroom/
// 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: "chat" })

What its code calls
networkenv varsremembers
The design, read from code
Drawn from the mod's source at the commit read, not from a run: a list is drawn three times, a condition takes its first branch that draws in the desktop app, and a value only the run time knows is shown as a made-up sample (dotted underline) or left out. Colours and type are this site's.
What its code shows
Read from the source at commit 326609c20b4c on 2026-10-06. 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.mod/hooks/register.tsx |
| Parses | Every file parses as TypeScript or JavaScript.2 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 |

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 the code below (or run claude plugin validate . in its folder), weigh what it reaches, and install the commit you read.
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 adamnroman/claude-chatroom/plugin install chatroom@claude-chatroomThis installs the marketplace's latest commit, which may not be the one read here (326609c20b4c). Compare them before you install.
Ask Claude about it
With the modscode connector added, Claude can read this design, what its code reaches and its code, and build on them. Ask it like this:
Read the modscode design "adamnroman-chatroom" with its code and make me a pane like itSearch them from Claude: the MCP connector
