Access and checks
How we reviewExtended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

What it does
better-claude by midudev collects Claude Code plugins, one per folder in `plugins/`. Quick Peek turns paths in Claude replies into links with a preview, and Image Preview shows a pasted image on hover. Sub Meter draws five-hour and weekly subscription limits, Context Meter highlights context window fill above the prompt line, and Token Meter counts tokens per turn and per session. `/commit` splits changes into Conventional Commits, Time Machine takes a git snapshot of every turn with edits and rolls files back with `/timeline`, and Narrator reads out what was done. Use Haiku and Think Hard switch model and effort with the `_` and `+` prefixes at the start of a prompt.
Who it is for. Everyday Claude Code users who want small interface upgrades and change rollback without assembling mods by hand.
Good fit when
- The session keeps growing and a colored indicator is needed for when to run `/compact`.
- After a bad turn, files must return to the state before it, including edits made through Bash.
- Changes in the tree should be split into meaningful commits with one `/commit` command.
- Five-hour and weekly subscription limits are easier to read as a bar in the lower right corner.
Not a fit when
- A plugin from another source is needed: separate plugins install from their own repositories.
- The working client does not support Claude Code interface mods.
- Rollback is needed for folders outside git: Time Machine relies on git snapshots.
Example request
Install Context Meter and Token Meter from better-claude, then show what the indicator looks like when it is time to compact context.Limitations
It works only in Claude Code with marketplaces and interface mods, and some features depend on the client version. Quick Peek reveals files in Finder, so it targets macOS. Time Machine needs a git repository and stores a snapshot of every turn, and the Narrator voice comes from the free system voices. Marketplace auto-update must be enabled by hand: Claude Code leaves it off for third-party sources.
How to disable. Remove plugins with `/plugin uninstall <name>@better-claude`, then remove the marketplace. Time Machine snapshots stay in the git repository and are cleaned separately.
FAQ
How do I add the marketplace?
In Claude Code run `/plugin marketplace add midudev/better-claude`, then `/plugin install quick-peek@better-claude` or another plugin from the table.
What does Time Machine do?
Every turn that changes files is saved as a git snapshot. The `/timeline` command restores files to the state before any turn, and edits through Bash are rolled back too.
How do I switch the model for one turn?
Start a prompt with `_` and that turn runs on Haiku (the Use Haiku plugin). The `+` prefix turns on maximum thinking effort (the Think Hard plugin).
How do I get updates automatically?
Open `/plugin`, the Marketplaces tab, choose better-claude and enable auto-update.
What does Sub Meter show?
Subscription usage in the lower right corner: the five-hour and weekly windows as a bar.

README in short
The repository serves as a marketplace: each plugin sits in its own folder with a manifest and is listed in a table. The root `package.json` runs all tests. MIT license, author Miguel Angel Duran.
