- change-ledger: Lists the files this session edited in a pane (/changes), with line counts and who edited them, beside the git working t (Low risk)
- ci-watch: Watches GitHub Actions in a band above the prompt after Claude pushes, opens a PR or pushes a tag: a progress bar per ru (Review before installing)
- compact-keeper: Saves each compaction's summary, with the files edited before it, to ~/.claude/handoffs so the context before /compact c (Review before installing)
- guardrails: Blocks shell commands you pick in /config: Cloudflare cf writes, attribution lines in commits and PRs, claude/ branch na (Low risk)
- loop-guard: Tells the model, out of the user's sight, to stop when the same call fails twice with the same error (Low risk)
- pin-board: Pins standing notes with /pin that Claude keeps following after /compact and /clear; shows them in one row above the pro (Low risk)
- search-meter: Counts the model's searches and colors each one: green found first try, yellow found after misses, red found nothing (Low risk)
