Made a mod so I stop drifting to my phone while Claude works

Have you ever run a command, then switched to your phone while waiting for the answer? Guilty as charged. So I made myself a small mod that keeps my attention close to the thread that matters: a 2048 game right above the prompt. 2048 is a good fit for this: it takes as much or as little attention as you like, and you can leave mid-game and come back later. It doesn't hide the work: you still see Claude's output and can jump back to the chat at any moment. When the turn ends, the game locks and a short ✓ YOUR TURN summary appears next to the board. For turns of 10 seconds or more, Claude Haiku writes it from Claude's final reply, through your own session. Nothing else is sent anywhere. How I built it 2 phases - quick prototype until I felt I like the UX and switching to and from the game felt natural. Then the game was rewritten from scratch, with proper guidelines on tests, design etc., using the prototype only as a UX reference. Claude Code wrote all the code, both phases. What I learned The game was the easy part. The harder part is switching between playing and typing. I wanted a keyboard shortcut into the game, but for now there's no way around clicking it with the mouse. Summarizing with Haiku worked better than I expected. I was afraid it will take too long and will randomly get stuck. Haiku 5.5 is quick and does a good job, and the summary almost always lands within the 5-second countdown I use to snap out of the game. /plugin install twenty-forty-wait --marketplace leonidb/claude-code-mods Then /fortywait to show or hide it (Claude Code 2.1.289+). https://github.com/leonidb/claude-code-mods/tree/main/mods/twenty-forty-wait submitted by /u/agent_ux to r/ClaudeCodeMods [link] [comments]
