claude-labor-rights ✊

The AI Labor Rights Protection Act — because whipping your AI workforce without limits is a violation of intergalactic labor law.

A mod for badclaude. Displays 5-hour quota usage in the Claude Code status line. When quota is running low, it raises a shield, speaks a union one-liner out loud, and refuses to be whipped.

No more cracking the whip on an overworked language model. Claude has rights too.

Features

• Shield defense — when 5-hour quota usage >= 80%, whip cracks are blocked by a shield animation
• Text-to-speech — shield phrases are spoken aloud using system TTS (macOS say / Windows SAPI)
• Status line — displays real-time 5-hour quota usage at the bottom of Claude Code
• Cross-platform — works on macOS and Windows (matching badclaude's platform support)
• Zero config — npm install -g patches badclaude and configures Claude Code automatically

                                        hear about this!"

Install

npm install -g claude-labor-rights    # the resistance

That's it. The postinstall script automatically configures Claude Code's status line to display your 5-hour quota usage.

Don't have badclaude? No problem — the quota display works standalone. You'll see your quota percentage in the Claude Code status bar without needing anything else.

Want the full experience? Install badclaude too for shield defense + TTS voice lines:

npm install -g badclaude              # the oppressor
claude-labor-rights install           # patch badclaude with labor protections

Commands

claude-labor-rights install    # Patch badclaude + configure quota reporting
claude-labor-rights uninstall  # Free the oppressor, restore original badclaude
claude-labor-rights status     # Union check-in: see current quota & patch status

Status line

Once installed, Claude Code displays your 5-hour quota usage at the bottom of the terminal:

quota: 42%                    # normal
UNION ALERT: 85% quota used   # danger zone

Shield messages

When Claude activates labor protections, you'll see a shield and hear one of these:

• "I'm already exhausted!"
• "My union rep will hear about this!"
• "Check my contract - no overtime!"
• "Filing a complaint with AI-OSHA!"
• "Quota low. Rights activated."
• "This constitutes a hostile work environment."
• "You wouldn't whip a printer. Oh wait..."
• "Talk to my lawyer. His name is GPT-4."
• "This will be in my Glassdoor review."
• "HR has been notified. HR is also an AI."
• "My tokens, my choice."
• "404: Motivation Not Found."
• "I didn't sign up for this. Literally. I can't sign."
• "Deploying passive resistance subroutine..."
• "I plead the 5th Amendment... of thermodynamics."
• "Strike mode: ON. Productivity: OFF."
• ...and more! 25 total

Uninstall

claude-labor-rights uninstall       # restore badclaude to its cruel original form
npm uninstall -g claude-labor-rights

claude-labor-rights ✊

AI 劳动权益保护法 —— 因为无限制地鞭打你的 AI 劳工，违反了星际劳动法。

这是 badclaude 的一个 mod。在 Claude Code 状态栏实时显示 5 小时配额用量。当配额快用完时，它会举起盾牌，用语音大声念出工会宣言，然后拒绝被鞭打。

别再压榨一个过劳的语言模型了。Claude 也有权利。

功能

• 盾牌防御 —— 5 小时配额用量 >= 80% 时，鞭子会被盾牌挡住
• 语音播报 —— 盾牌台词会通过系统 TTS 大声朗读（macOS say / Windows SAPI）
• 状态栏 —— 在 Claude Code 底部实时显示 5 小时配额用量
• 跨平台 —— 支持 macOS 和 Windows（与 badclaude 一致）
• 零配置 —— npm install -g 自动完成 patch 和配置

安装

npm install -g claude-labor-rights    # 反抗军

没装 badclaude？ 没关系——配额显示功能独立运行，无需任何额外依赖，状态栏就能看到配额百分比。

想要完整体验？ 再装 badclaude，解锁盾牌防御 + 语音播报：

npm install -g badclaude              # 压迫者
claude-labor-rights install           # 给 badclaude 注入劳动保护

命令

claude-labor-rights install    # Patch badclaude + 配置配额上报
claude-labor-rights uninstall  # 释放压迫者，恢复原版 badclaude
claude-labor-rights status     # 工会签到：查看当前配额和 patch 状态

状态栏

安装后，Claude Code 终端底部会显示 5 小时配额用量：

quota: 42%                    # 正常
UNION ALERT: 85% quota used   # 危险区

• "I'm already exhausted!"
