Please install the Claude Code mod "Bugdex" (https://github.com/ahmtsahin/bugdex). Before installing, read the Security and Requirements sections of its README and tell me what it reads and writes, which commands it runs, whether it uses the network, and which Claude Code version, OS and terminal it needs. If everything looks fine, run claude plugin marketplace add ahmtsahin/bugdex and claude plugin install bugdex@bugdex, then remind me to run /reload-plugins in my session.Send this to Claude Code so it reads the author’s instructions before installing.

NoneIntroduction
Bugdex is a Claude Code function-hooks mod that turns failing tests into monster battles: failures spawn species by error type, fixes deal damage and XP, and regression tests catch bugs into a Bugdex. Supports Jest, Vitest, Playwright, pytest, and more. Author says everything stays in the local plugin store, with no network and no model calls; it only reads tool calls/output and never changes results or permissions. Needs 2.1.286+. Demo project included. Preview illustrative. Not runtime-tested here.
Who it is for
- People who want test-fix as a battle-and-collect game
Requirements
- Claude Code ≥ 2.1.286
- Supports several test runners; try the bundled bugdex-demo.
