Introduction

Claude Combo is a wait-time mod that turns a Claude Code session into an arcade fight. Every clean tool call is a hit, every error breaks the chain, and you climb from D to SSS.

  • Each tool is a move: Read is a JAB, Edit a SLASH, running tests a RISING TEST, git commit a SEAL; points multiply ×2 from 10 hits, up to ×5
  • Specials: Read → Edit → passing test lands RED→GREEN TATSUMAKI, and tests passing after a failure land COMEBACK!
  • A pixel-art combo counter and heat meter sit above the prompt, the status line shows ⚡ x23 A · 4,180 pts, and toasts mark rank-ups, specials, breaks and records
  • Chiptune effects on macOS; /combo shows the session's fight card

The author states it reads only each tool call's name and its file path or command head, never file contents, makes no network requests, and stores only your best combo and score in $.store. A call you deny is a parry and does not break the chain. Desktop, VS Code and mobile get a text band. The README states no minimum version or platform list. Not run-tested by this site; the preview is illustrative.

Who it is for

  • People who want long agent sessions to feel like a game
  • People who want to see at a glance whether calls run clean

Requirements

  • Sound effects are macOS only.
  • Desktop, VS Code and mobile get a text band.
