git clone https://github.com/promptadvisers/claude-mods-computer-use-threads claude plugin validate ./claude-mods-computer-use-threads/plugins/threads
- Install it. Run this in your terminal, then /reload-plugins in an open session.

Or ask Claude to set it up
Paste this into Claude Code and it installs threads for you:
