Introduction

Mindful Claude is a wait-time function-hooks mod: when Claude works it draws a breathing animation above the prompt and the spinner tracks the breath; it clears when Claude answers. Supports coherent, box, 4-7-8 and physiological sigh patterns via /breathe. README targets 2.1.269+ with the early hooks flag. Not run-tested. Preview is illustrative.

Who it is for

  • People who want a short breathing practice while Claude works

Requirements

  • Claude Code ≥ 2.1.269
  • README still documents early-access and CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1.
  • Needs an interactive terminal.
