hint-mod

A quieter Claude Code footer: the dim hint line under the prompt, gone.

Once the shortcuts are in your fingers, the hint line under the prompt is only noise. This mod empties it: ? for shortcuts, esc to interrupt, (shift+tab to cycle), ← for agents and the pills beside them.

It is a Claude Code mod: a plugin whose behaviour lives in a TypeScript hooks module. It rewrites the engine's PromptHint component to an empty string, nothing else.

Install

Function hooks are early access, so the engine loads a mod only with the flag on. Put it in your shell profile:

export CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1

Then install it as a plugin, from GitHub or from a local clone:

/plugin marketplace add zyx1121/hint-mod
/plugin install hint-mod@hint-mod

Or try it for one session without installing:

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/hint-mod

Limits

The permission mode badge (⏵⏵ bypass permissions on, ⏸ plan mode on) is drawn by the engine outside PromptHint, so no hook can remove it, and a trailing · stays beside it. In the default (Manual) mode there is no badge and the line disappears.

How it is built

| File | Role | |------|------| | hooks/register.ts | One ui.render hook on PromptHint that passes the line on with hint: '' | | tests/register.test.ts | The engine receives an empty hint; draft and working flags pass through | | types/claude-code.d.ts | The engine contract, written by /plugin-types |

Typecheck with bunx -p typescript tsc -p tsconfig.json and test with CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1 claude plugin test .. CI runs both.

Issues and pull requests are welcome. Keep the mod to one hook; run the typecheck and tests before opening a PR.
