# Four practical mods: cache cost, recording mode, goal progress, collision guard

A Reddit post shares four Claude Code plugins from Nate Herk's marketplace: Cache Keeper (warm/cold prompt cache status and cost), Recording Mode (/rec, masks secrets on screen while recording), Goal Meter (/goals, progress bar with ETA for /goal), and Collision Guard (/guard, warns before editing files changed by another chat). Includes marketplace add and install commands plus a repo link.

## Description

The post describes four mods published in one marketplace: Cache Keeper shows if the prompt cache is warm or cold and estimates cold restart cost, and can keep large chats warm with confirmation; Recording Mode (/rec) masks API keys, .env values, emails, names and money figures on screen during screen recording or sharing without changing what Claude sees; Goal Meter (/goals) adds a progress bar and ETA for /goal; Collision Guard (/guard) prompts before Claude edits a file modified by another open chat in the last 30 minutes. Install steps use claude plugin marketplace add nateherkai/claude-code-mods and claude plugin install for each plugin, and the README notes /reload-plugins is insufficient. It also warns that keep-warm pings consume tokens, which is cheap compared to a cold rewrite but not free.

## Original README

Nate Herk published four mods in one marketplace. I think two of them solve problems I haven't seen in other mods. Cache Keeper : shows if the prompt cache is warm or cold and what a cold restart would cost. It can keep big chats warm, and it asks before you send into a cold one. Recording Mode ( /rec ): masks API keys, .env values, emails, names and money figures on screen while you record or share your screen. Claude still gets the real results, only the screen changes. Goal Meter ( /goals ): a progress bar for /goal , with an ETA. Collision Guard ( /guard ): asks before Claude edits a file that another open chat changed in the last 30 minutes. Install: claude plugin marketplace add nateherkai/claude-code-mods claude plugin install cache-keeper@nateherk-mods claude plugin install recording-mode@nateherk-mods claude plugin install goal-meter@nateherk-mods claude plugin install collision-guard@nateherk-mods Then open a new chat. The README says /reload-plugins is not enough for these. Keep in mind that keep-warm pings use tokens. That's cents compared to a cold rewrite, but not free. Repo: https://github.com/nateherkai/claude-code-mods Recording Mode and Collision Guard are the interesting ones for me. Has anyone tried the guard with several chats on the same repo?   submitted by   /u/justmisam   to   r/ClaudeMod [link]   [comments]
