Plushie: A Plush Claude Code Mascot in Your Terminal

Claude Code just got mods, and this is my first one. I built Plushie with Claude Code. It's a fluffy 3D plush of the little orange Claude Code mascot that lives in your terminal and reacts to whatever Claude is doing. https://reddit.com/link/1wwan22/video/rohp90yuk5th1/player What it does Plushie has a full meltdown when a tool call fails, sweat drop and all. Every subagent spawns a baby Plushie that waddles off when it's finished. Plushie gets visibly chubbier as your context fills up, until you /compact and it all comes out in one big sigh. It holds a tiny magnifying glass when Claude reads files and a keyboard when it runs bash. You can pat Plushie. You can pick Plushie up. I've been doing both instead of reviewing diffs. How Claude Code built it Honestly it did most of the typing. I described what I wanted and kept reacting to renders. It wrote the Blender script that builds the model (body, particle-hair fur, bead eyes, the props) and renders every animation headless, about 700 frames. It checked contact sheets of its own renders and fixed what looked off. The first try at fur was a 4-unit-long shag carpet that swallowed the camera. It wrote the mod itself in TypeScript against the new mods API, plus 26 tests that run with claude plugin test. The sound effects are synthesized from sine waves and noise in a Python script it wrote. No samples. My part was mostly saying "more fluffy", "the keyboard is too small" and "the eyes look weird".
