I built a virtual pet that lives in your Claude Code status line and reflects your AI usage patterns.

  The pet's energy decays over time (~3 days from full to death), and you feed
  it by consuming tokens through Claude Code. As energy drops, the pet shows
  different expressions: (^_^) when happy, (o_o) when hungry, (u_u) when sick,
  and (x_x) when dead.

  What makes it interesting is the death mechanic - when your pet dies (energy
  hits 0), all your statistics reset to zero and you start completely fresh.
  It's like a gentle reminder of the ephemeral nature of our AI interactions.

  Setup is simple: just add `"command": "npx ccpet@latest"` to your Claude Code
  status line config. The pet persists across sessions and gives you a live view
   of your current session stats (input/output/cached tokens).

  It's written in TypeScript, fully tested, and published to npm. I found it
  surprisingly motivating to keep my "pet" alive while coding!
