π BarkClaude
An animated Shiba Inu that sits on your desktop and barks at Claude Code to make it work faster.
Because sometimes AI needs a little motivation.
What it does
- Cute animated shiba inu floats on top of all windows
- Click the shiba β it barks (with sound!) and sends a motivational message to Claude Code
- Tray icon for quick barking access
- Tracks your bark count (for when the robots come and want to rank us)
Install & Run
npm install -g barkclaude
barkclaudeOr clone and run locally:
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/barkclaude.git
cd barkclaude
npm install
npm startHow it works
- Click the shiba
- Shiba goes BORK BORK
- A message like "I've seen snails deploy faster!" gets sent to Claude Code via CLI
- Claude feels shame (probably)
- Productivity increases (not guaranteed)
Sample messages
- π "WOOF! Code faster, human!"
- π "The treat jar is EMPTY just like your git log!"
- π "Even a puppy could merge this PR!"
- π "404: Speed not found"
- π "My grandma codes faster. She's a cat."
