Claude Mod. A mod is a complete Claude Code plugin built on function hooks (Anthropic's mods/ layout); it is on by default in Claude Code 2.1.287+. Hooks module: hooks/register.tsx. Run claude plugin validate on the installed folder to see every event it hooks and every $ call it makes.
README.md

pet

A virtual pet above the Claude Code prompt, fed by Claude's actual work. Passing tests, commits and edits grant XP and mood; failing tests cost mood; idling drains it. It advances egg → baby → kid → adult → legend (level = √(xp/10)). Click it to pet it. Zero tokens: the mod reads Claude's tool calls itself and never asks the model anything.

Split out of sezaakgun/cc-arcade (MIT, by Seza Akgün). Want the pet plus nine games and a picker in one plugin? Install games/cc-arcade instead.

Use

  • /pet shows it above the prompt, /pet stop hides it. It keeps eating while hidden.
  • The pet lives in the plugin's store, so sessions running side by side feed the same one.

Install

sh
npx claude-code-templates@latest --mod games/pet
claude

It is written to .claude/skills/pet/, which Claude Code auto-loads as pet@skills-dir. For one session with hot reload: claude --plugin-dir .claude/skills/pet.

Requirements

  • Claude Code 2.1.287 or later (mods are on by default from that version).
  • An interactive terminal. Nothing draws in claude -p, the desktop app or mobile.
