Run both on your own site today and post what came back.

Nobody ever shares the actual output, which is exactly why nobody runs them.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

2 free tools, 10 minutes, on my own site.

Everybody tells you to run these. Almost nobody tells you what comes back.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

Ten minutes, two commands, nothing to pay. And what you get is a list instead of a feeling.

The feeling is what makes security weeks exhausting.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

A terminal tool got an extension system and a marketplace in one release, with no launch post.

The changelog is still where everything happens.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

Worth knowing before you build one: this is a week old. The patterns are not settled, and whatever you write now you will probably rewrite.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

Which is the same point as hooks, taken further. An instruction is a request. Code in the execution path is not.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

2.1.302 gave Claude Code a plugin system. Nobody announced it.

Shipped 17 October.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

Mods sit in panels, tool calls and commands.

So the thing you used to write as an instruction and hope it followed can now be code it cannot argue with.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

That is a real change. Configuring Claude Code used to mean a settings file with static values in it.

Now it can be logic that runs at the moment a tool is called.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

The bigger half is the Mods system, in the same release.

You write JavaScript or TypeScript that runs inside the agent's execution path.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

There is now an official first-party plugin repo on GitHub. Plugins existed before, but there was no curated place to find them.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

98,536 stars for a tool whose entire purpose is to not be tied to a single agent.

That tells you where this is heading.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

30 agents side by side in isolated worktrees. 98,536 stars.

It is called Orca.

[Snelstack @snelstack]

And it answers a question people kept asking. Nobody is loyal to one agent now.

They want Claude Code for one job and something cheaper for another, in the same session.
