No commands. This one runs on its own once it is fitted.

L1A ◆ Dashboard button sits above the prompt, beside any other mod's band.

Press it and a panel opens.

L3What ships

Effort. Pick one and every request you send goes out with it. Auto leaves Claude Code's own choice alone. The top line shows the model and effort your last message really went out with.
Helper agents. Same as me, or Fast & Cheap, which sends every subagent to Haiku. Your own messages keep your model.
Launch buttons. Each one sends its prompt as if you typed it.
A status row. One line from a command you choose, read when the panel opens and after each turn while it is open. If the output has a count like 3 of 7 the row shows that, green at 0 and red when full. Otherwise it shows the first line.

/dashboard opens the panel too, and its reply carries the status reading.

L4Make it yours

Open /config, or ask Claude to set these for you.

Setting	What it takes	Default
Launch buttons	`Label=prompt`, separated by semicolons: `Review=review my last change; Tests=run the tests`	empty: no buttons
Status row label	the word in front of the row	`STATUS`
Status row command	a program and its arguments: `git log -1 --oneline`, `node tools/count.js`	empty: no row
Status row folder	where the command runs	the folder Claude Code started in

The command is run directly, not through a shell, so pipes and && do not work. Put "quotes" round a part with spaces in it. It may run for 20 seconds at most.

L5What it runs and sends

Nothing goes to any service except Anthropic, through Claude Code's own requests. Here is each thing, plainly.

What it sends, and where. It changes nothing it does not name here.

Every request Claude Code sends to Anthropic passes through the mod's turn.step hook on its way out. That hook is Claude Code's own request to the model, not a new connection.
If you picked an effort, the hook sets that request's effort to your pick. On Auto it leaves the request alone.
If Helper agents is Fast & Cheap, the hook sets a subagent's request to the model claude-haiku-4-5-20251001. Your own messages keep your model.
The request still goes only to Anthropic, the same way it would without the mod. The mod adds no text to it.

Which programs it runs, and why.

Only the one program you write into Status row command, to show one line of status on the panel. Empty means it runs nothing.
It cannot be written as fixed text in the mod, because you choose it. The mod runs exactly what you typed: the program and its arguments, directly, never through a shell, in Status row folder, for at most 20 seconds.
It runs when the panel opens and after each turn while the panel is open. Its output stays on your screen and is never sent anywhere.

What it puts in the prompts it submits.

A launch button submits exactly the prompt you wrote for it in Launch buttons, as if you typed it. The mod adds nothing and changes nothing.
It submits nothing else, ever. With no buttons set, it never submits.

The panel draws in the terminal and in the Code tab of the Claude desktop app.
