- context-bar: Shows the context window as a stacked bar above the prompt, one colour per /context category; /context-bar toggles it (Low risk)
- guard: Blocks destructive shell commands and access to secret files before they run, anywhere in a compound command (Low risk)
- notify: Notifications that say what happened: a long turn finished (with its answer), a permission prompt or a question waiting, (Review before installing)
- redact: Keeps secrets that tools print (keys, tokens, passwords, private keys) out of what the model reads and the next request (Low risk)
- turn-stats: Adds what a turn did to its 'Worked for' line: tool calls by tool, failures, files changed and cost (Low risk)
