plushie

<p align="center"><img src="docs/media/demo.gif" width="560" alt="Clawd being patted, holding a keyboard while Claude runs a command, then jumping when it's done"></p>

A plush Clawd that lives above the Claude Code prompt and reacts to what Claude is doing: idles and blinks, wiggles while a turn runs, holds a little prop for each tool, wobbles when a tool fails or you interrupt, jumps after a long turn, blushes when you say thanks, dozes off when left alone. Pat it, or pick it up and move it.

It is a Claude Code mod: frames baked in Blender, played in the terminal by swapping an Image's source with $.ui.blit. Terminals with an image protocol (Ghostty, kitty) only; elsewhere it stays out of the way.

An unofficial fan project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic. Clawd and Claude Code are Anthropic's.

Install

/plugin marketplace add xyc/plushie
/plugin install plushie@plushie

Needs Claude Code 2.1.287 or later with mods on. Mods are rolling out; if /plushie isn't listed after installing, they aren't on for your account yet.

To run it from a checkout instead:

claude --plugin-dir path/to/plushie

Switches

Each is a switch, on by default, in /config or with /plushie on|off <switch>:

| Switch | What Clawd does | | :-- | :-- | | drag | drag it sideways along the band; it dangles while held, lands where you let go, and stays there next session | | pats | click it without dragging: a squish, a happy squint, hearts | | toolProps | holds a magnifier while reading, knitting needles while editing, a keyboard for the shell, binoculars on the web | | miniClawds | a half-size Clawd per running subagent, walking off when it finishes | | stuffing | grows rounder as the context window fills, deflates with a sigh on compaction | | blush | blushes at thanks and praise in your prompt | | fidgets | left alone, now and then looks around, scratches, yawns or hops | | sounds | little sounds for pats, jumps, wobbles, blushes, being picked up and put down, deflating and dozing off |

Commands

• /plushie hides or shows it.
• /plushie <reaction> plays one of Clawd's reactions: happy, oops, pat, blush, sleepy, fidget-yawn, working-binoculars, idle-stuffed, … (every folder in assets/frames).
• /plushie list shows every reaction, and every switch with its state.
• /plushie on <switch> / /plushie off <switch> flips a switch.

Rebake the frames

blender/sheet.sh idle:0 happy:16          # contact sheet: build/sheet.png
/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender -b --factory-startup \
  -P blender/plush.py -- render build/layers [clip ...]
python3 blender/composite.py build/layers assets/frames [clip ...]

blender/plush.py holds the model, the fur, the props, the lights and every clip's motion, and renders each frame twice: Clawd alone, and the shadow alone. blender/composite.py lays one over the other into assets/frames and writes the manifest the mod reads. The shadow's strength and shape live in the compositor, so changing them is a re-run of composite.py, not a render.

Test

claude plugin test .

The tests drive every reaction through the real event that triggers it, each with its switch on and off.
