Clawd

A tiny pixel-art Claude who lives above your prompt and silently acts out your Claude Code session, in 73 animated scenes and no text.

Unofficial, fan-made project by mesix971. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.

What he does

• At rest, he walks around and keeps himself busy: coffee, guitar, fishing, juggling, reading, dancing. His mood (energy, boredom, joy) picks what. At night, he sleeps until you come back.
• While Claude works, he moves boxes from one pile to the other, with a thought bubble showing what Claude is doing. Now and then a box falls from the sky and he opens it instead: a jack-in-the-box, nesting boxes, a drum solo, a podium that gives way under him.
• Big moments get their own scene: a hammer during builds, a checklist during tests, a paper plane for pushes, confetti when it passes, a rain cloud when it breaks, stamping on a pile of paper during compaction, a raised paw while a permission is waiting.
• Each subagent arrives as a mini-Clawd in its model's color and mimes what its agent does. When it finishes, it hands its work back and leaves in one of five ways.
• He sweats as the context fills up, wears an autopilot visor in auto or bypass mode, and earns experience from tool calls: each new level drops a star from the sky and changes the medal on his belly.
• With the atelier mod from the same marketplace, he plays short gags across its band (he steals the loading orb, makes the pills pop like popcorn) and always puts everything back.

Hover him for ♥ (pet), 🎲 (new activity), 🕺 (dance) and ⭐ (level). /clawd shows his level and mood, /clawd montre <scene> plays a scene, and /clawd voit explains what he sees on atelier's band.

Install

claude plugin marketplace add mesix971/mods-claude
claude plugin install clawd@mods-claude

Requires Claude Code 2.1.287 or later (mods). The full animation shows in the desktop app's Code tab; the terminal gets a block logo, an emoji for what he is doing, and one ▪ per subagent.

What it reads, runs and stores

Clawd makes no model calls and no network requests, and launches no processes. It follows session events: tool calls and their results (to tell a passing build from a failing one), your prompts, subagents, compaction and permission requests. It reads what Claude Code provides: the current model, the permission mode, the context and rate-limit figures, the list of subagents, and the band published by atelier. It keeps its petting count, experience, mood and a few dates (such as your last visit) in the plugin store. Command replies are in French; the drawing itself has no text.

Its hooks only watch. Prompts, tool calls, subagent launches and permission requests go on unchanged. The permission-request hook decides nothing: it raises his paw while the dialog waits, then passes the request on as it came. The subagent hook reads the new agent's id and model, to give its mini-Clawd the right color. It reads no credential, and www.w3.org appears in its code only as the namespace of the SVG drawings.

All 73 scenes are shown in the project's README.
