clawdify 🦀

Restyle Claude Code from inside Claude Code. A mod that lets you change the spinner, the turn footer, the prompt hint, a banner above the prompt, the row under it, and how transcript rows look. It never touches Claude's system prompt. Use the /clawdify pane, the subcommands, or just say what you want:

/clawdify make it feel like a submarine
/clawdify green hacker footer, hide the startup notices

Install

Needs a Claude Code build with mods (2.1.287 or later).

/plugin marketplace add viik2k/clawdify
/plugin install clawdify@clawdify

Or run it from a clone: claude --plugin-dir path/to/clawdify.

Use

| Command | What it does | |---|---| | /clawdify | Open the editor pane (keys 1–7 switch tabs) | | /clawdify <anything> | Describe what you want; Claude picks the settings | | /clawdify get | List what you changed | | /clawdify set <key> <value> | Change one setting (empty value = default) | | /clawdify preset <name> | Layer a preset on top: clawd, pirate, hacker, zen, minimal, or any friend by name (campfire, duck, binary-rain, …). One you saved brings back exactly that look instead | | /clawdify save <name> | Save your current look as your own preset (also on the pane's presets tab) | | /clawdify delete <name> | Delete a preset you saved | | /clawdify reset [key] | Back to Claude Code defaults | | /clawdify export / import <json> | Share settings as JSON | | /clawdify reload | Pick up edits made to the saved settings file |

Settings persist across sessions and /clear. Empty means Claude Code's own behaviour, so nothing changes until you set something.

They're saved as the settings object in ~/.claude/plugins/store/clawdify_*.json. Edit that file by hand, then run /clawdify reload.

Settings

| Tab | Keys | |---|---| | spinner | spinnerVerbs, spinnerThinking, spinnerTools, spinnerResponding, spinnerSuffix | | turn | doneVerbs, doneTemplate, doneColor, doneToastSecs | | prompt | footer (your own row under the prompt), footerColor, hint, hintTail, modeLabel, backgroundHint (none hides it) | | banner | banner, bannerColor, bannerBorder, bannerAlign, mascot (still or animated Clawd, or a stock loop), mascotColor | | transcript | userPrefix, userColor, replyRewrites, expandToolGroups, hideNotices |

• Lists are comma-separated: Clawing, Scuttling, Pinching.
• Stock Clawd loops for mascot: scuttle, hop, wave, cheer, think, snooze, peek, idle. The loop plays while Claude works; idle, Clawd blinks and glances about.
• Or swap Clawd for a friend: snail, bat, spider, bunny, dog, penguin, snake, jellyfish, duck, turtle, hourglass, plant, campfire, rain, moon, equalizer, heartbeat, screensaver, binary-rain, train. Same deal: the loop plays while Claude works, and idle it holds still.
• Clawd stays above the prompt (mascot). Want him elsewhere? {clawd} is a one-row Clawd (▐▛███▜▌), animated in spinnerSuffix; the footer never draws him.
• Templates take {model}, {cwd}, {path}, {time}, {date}; doneTemplate also takes {word}, and its {time} is the turn's length.
• footer also takes {branch}, {context}, {ctxbar}, {5h}, {7d}, {cost}; split it with · and percentages turn amber past 60 and rust past 85.
• Colours are names (green, magenta) or #rrggbb. An unknown colour makes Claude Code draw that element normally.
• replyRewrites is display-only find/replace on Claude's replies: you=>ye; /\bhello\b/gi=>ahoy.

Notes

• /clawdify <anything> makes one small Sonnet call on your account. Its answer is filtered to known settings before anything is saved.
• Claude Code's own startup header (the logo with version, model, plan and folder) stays. Mods can't draw over it yet; hideNotices only hides the dim lines under it.
