Every burn, a sparkle. Big burns, fireworks.

      
It worries about you
Hours of grinding → water break.

      
You can talk to it
/talktopet — it obeys, and answers back.

      
Scenes are alive too
City windows light up as you burn.

A long session, exactly as the product renders it — MOMO the pig lives under the input box: she wanders, oinks, snacks, and turns back at the city. Click her.

          How is it different from a desktop pet?

Lives
Inside your terminal's status bar.
Its own window, over your screen.

Timers and clicks.

            
Growth
Levels from tokens, badges from grind hours.
Mostly cosmetic.

          How do I install and launch it, exactly?
          

            
    
              
  1. Have Node.js 16+ (from nodejs.org, the LTS button).
    2. 
              
  2. Run npm install -g tokipet. On a Mac this usually needs sudo npm install -g tokipet (type your system password).
    3. 
              
  3. Run pet setup — never with sudo.
    4. 
              
  4. Launching: the pet lives inside Claude Code. It will not appear in a plain terminal — open (or restart) Claude Code, and the pet renders in the status bar under the input box. Then /CLIadd to configure it.
    5. 
            

          

        

        

          Does it spend my tokens?
          
No. It passively reads the transcript files Claude Code already writes to ~/.claude/projects. No API calls, ever — zero tokens, zero dollars.

        

        

          Does my code go anywhere?
          
Nothing leaves your machine. One local state file (~/.tokipet/state.json), no accounts, no network.

        

        

          I've never used npm. What do I do?
          

            
    
              
  1. Install Node.js from nodejs.org — the LTS button, ordinary installer.
    2. 
              
  2. Open a terminal (Mac: ⌘ Space, type “Terminal”).
    3. 
              
  3. Run npm install -g tokipet, then pet setup. Restart Claude Code.
    4. 
              
  4. Seeing EACCES: permission denied? Use sudo npm install -g tokipet — but never sudo for pet setup.
    5. 
            

          

        

        

          How is the token count calculated?
          
Input + output + cache reads + cache writes, summed from the day you installed. Cumulative for life — a new terminal never resets it.

        

        

          How do badges work?
          
They track grind hours — time actively burning tokens (gaps over 5 minutes don't count). Tiers at 1h / 22h / 44h / 88h / 8888h, each with a fixed gift: cow, spider, seal, Saturn, apple core.

        

        

          How do I switch pets, scenes, or languages?
          
Type /CLIadd in Claude Code — press 1–6 to adopt or toggle, 4 to cycle languages. The bar updates within a second.

        

        

          My pet is asleep. Is it okay?
          
It lies down after ~30 quiet minutes and wakes at your next burn. You can also order a nap: /talktopet go sleep.

        

        

          Can I uninstall it cleanly?
          
pet setup --remove (restores your Claude Code config), then npm uninstall -g tokipet. Delete ~/.tokipet if you want its memory gone too. It won't haunt your status bar. It might haunt you.
