Severance MDR

Macrodata Refinement for Claude Code. While your agents work, a pane opens with a grid of numbers. Some of them are scary. Find them, box them, and sort them into bins. The work is mysterious and important.

Install

/plugin marketplace add magnuswiderberg/claude-code-mods
/plugin install severance-mdr@magnus-mods

Play

The pane opens each time you submit a prompt. You can also open it yourself with /mdr.

Click the board to give it the keyboard. Esc hands the keyboard back to the prompt.

| Key | Does | | --- | --- | | Arrows, hjkl, wasd | Move the cursor | | Shift+arrows | Paint a selection | | Space | Mark one number | | Enter | Mark the 3x3 square around the cursor | | Mouse drag | Box a region | | 1-5 or click a bin | Send the selection to that bin | | c | Clear the selection | | n | New file, once this one is complete (N abandons it) |

Scary numbers give themselves away only when the cursor is near: they turn bold and jitter. Each bin takes a quota of each temper: WO (Woe), FC (Frolic), DR (Dread) and MA (Malice). A full bin refuses the extras, so try another bin. The file is done at 100%. Your progress is saved between sessions.

/mdr auto off stops the pane opening on every prompt. /mdr auto on turns it back on.

Good to know

• The animated board with mouse support runs in a terminal and in the Claude desktop app. The VS Code extension shows a simpler button version of the same game.
• The plugin API this mod uses is early access and may change between Claude Code releases. If the pane stops showing after an update, that's probably why.
