AI overview

Dan McAteer reviewed Claude Mods after several weeks of customizing Claude Code, describing plugins that change its interface and runtime behavior while adding notification noise, token usage and the risk of unsandboxed code running with the user’s permissions. His examples include a built-in mod that flagged uncommitted work and his own Next Steps Supervisor, which is available through ModSmith, an open-source Claude Code plugin he built. ModSmith includes several built-in mods and a template Claude can use to create additional mods that work together. McAteer calls Claude Mods an early version of an “Attention Interface” that users can shape themselves, comparing the approach with ChatGPT’s Intelligent UI and Cursor’s PR Routing & Approval.
