Wild Pokémon appear while you wait for Claude Code
Half of Claude Code is waiting. claudemon makes that time a game: your prompts are steps through the grass, every 20s of work another step. Something jumps out, the status line says so, you fight it in a second terminal tab. All 151, fully local, no account.
Hi PH 👋
Half my day in Claude Code is watching it work. Not long enough to switch
tasks, too long to just sit there. claudemon lives in that gap.
It's a Pokémon game that only advances while Claude does. Your prompts are
steps through the grass; every twenty seconds Claude works is another step.
Something jumps out, the status line tells you, you fight it in a second
terminal tab.
