Claude Mods lets users customize Claude Code by installing JavaScript or TypeScript “mods” that run inside Claude Code to change how the agent interacts with the human operator during prompting, tool calls, and rendering. One built-in mod called You Should Know was turned on to catch 45 files with uncommitted edits after an apparently finished UI-editing task. As a result, the agent harness can be “reversed” into a programmable Attention Interface where the human and agent jointly shape what gets shown and what decisions require human input, alongside tradeoffs like noise, higher token cost, and permissions/trust concerns.
