1818* **Run your own code on a command**: a `/command` that runs your function at once, with no Claude turn, even while Claude is working. See [Add a command or a tool](/docs/en/plugins/mods/api#add-a-command-or-a-tool).
1919* **Share data between hooks**: a mod's hooks share the variables in its file, so what one hook records, another can show. For example, one hook can count tool calls while another shows the count beside the spinner, or one can read each request's token usage while another charts it in a pane. See [React to events](/docs/en/plugins/mods/events).

21Mods work in the Claude Code CLI and in the Code tab of the Claude Desktop app. See [Where mods run](#where-mods-run) to understand how they behave elsewhere, such as in the VS Code extension, `claude -p`, and cloud sessions. If a settings hook, a skill, or an MCP server already does what you need, [compare them](#compare-mods-settings-hooks-skills-and-mcp-servers) before you write a mod. To manage mods for an organization, see [Manage mods for your organization](/docs/en/plugins/mods/admin).
