Anthropic ships Mods in Claude Code—small TS/JS functions that rewrite prompts, replace built-ins, and draw custom UI, distributed via plugins (with /diff among the first built-ins converted). Quoted prior brief: Gemini 4 Argon in trusted testing (1M output tokens, 77.9% DeepSWE SOTA, $4/$20 pricing), Gemini Skills global rollout, and Claude[.]dev launch.
