Customize Claude Code's spinner verbs with themed quotes (LOTR, Star Wars, GoT, Matrix, Dune...)

Claude Code shows a spinner while thinking. By default it says things like "Thinking...", "Processing...". boring.
So I made a small CLI tool to replace them with themed quotes.

Usage

npx claude-verbs
Pick a theme, done. Works with both Claude Code CLI and VSCode extension.

Themes

  • Star Wars: "May the tokens be with you"
  • LOTR: "Consulting the elves"
  • Dune: "Tokens must flow"
  • Matrix: "Downloading kung fu"
  • Breaking Bad: "99.1% pure coverage"
  • Game of Thrones: "What do we say to PO? Not today."

Why

Because if you're going to stare at a spinner all day, it might as well make you smile :)

GitHub: claude-verbs
npm: npmjs-link

Have fun :)
