An animated pixel-art pet for Claude Code that reacts to your session and evolves as you code.
README preview
# pixel-pet A tiny animated pixel pet that lives above your Claude Code prompt, in a little pixel world that follows your day. It naps when things are quiet, tells you what Claude is doing without becoming noise, cheers when your tests pass, waves when Claude needs you, and hatches little helpers for subagents, with a live context meter beside it.

Your first keystroke wakes it slowly (blinks, a yawn, a little stretch). After a quiet minute it nods off again. - **Watches you type.** Its eyes follow your caret as if reading along. A backspace makes it wince, deleting a big chunk makes it gasp, a huge paste gets a "whoa", and please or thanks makes it blush. - **Click it to pet it.** A heart pops and it blushes. - **Lives in a little world** that changes through your day: a meadow in the morning, the desert in the afternoon, a savanna sunset in the evening, the city skyline at night and the moon after midnight. While Claude works the scenery scrolls past in layers (far mountains slow, near hills fast), so it looks like it's running through it. The scenes are original pixel art drawn in code. - **Dresses for the date.** A pumpkin hat the week before Halloween, a Santa hat over Christmas, and a party hat at New Year and on its birthday. - **Feels the context.** As the context fills past 60% it slows down; after `/compact` it stretches, "feels light again ✨".
